Welcome to Due Diligence Checking Ltd. We are a registered commercial Umbrella Body for the Disclosure and Barring Service, Disclosure Scotland and Access Northern Ireland. We offer an Online DBS check (Disclosures) service for organisations and employers using our secure online application system.

Formerly CRB Checks
In December 2012 the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) merged to become the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). Hence, the CRB Check is now referred to as the DBS Check. The services and information provided on Disclosure and Barring Service Checks have not changed, with online DBS Checks still enabling employers to make safer recruitment decisions and help prevent unsuitable people from working with vulnerable groups, such as children and the elderly.
Who Needs An Online DBS Check?
We process between 6,000 and 7,000 applications per month for the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), Disclosure Scotland and Access Northern Ireland. DBS checks at the Standard and Enhanced level can be requested on individuals in specified roles, that are exempted from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974). These include roles where the individual will be working with children and/or vulnerable adults; or unrestricted access to premises where children or vulnerable adults are present. For example schools, clubs or care homes.
Other eligible roles for DBS certificates (formerly known as the CRB check) may include legal positions, security industry workers or FCA regulated financial roles, including giving advice.

ID Checks and DBS Route 2
Identity verification is an important part of the DBS checking process and this has to be done correctly. DDC have integrated this aspect into the system so Clients can be confident the process is carried out correctly and ID documents are valid. Document selection, nomination and verification is taken care of within the system.
Although our online criminal record check processes is at the heart of our business, we also aim to provide a comprehensive identity validation service for our clients. We have partnered with Experian to allow us to provide 3rd party identity checks for applicants who require this service.
