What is the DBS update service?

Edited

The DBS Update Service is a government provided service which keeps your enhanced DBS certificate up-to-date, without having to apply for a new one. It also allows parents, students and employers to check your record quickly and conveniently online, with your consent.

The service currently costs just £16 a year, and you have to subscribe to it within 30 days of the issue date of your certificate.
