DBS Checks for Our Volunteering Heroes!

During the Coronavirus outbreak, communities and organisations have been impacted significantly and TotalCRB want to ensure that as a local Lancashire company, and responsible government registered body for the DBS, we do all that we can to ensure that vulnerable groups continue to be safeguarded and regarded as a priority.

To help fight the Coronavirus outbreak, the DBS made some temporary changes back in March. This includes NO charge for Fast Track Service DBS checks. In line with some of these changes, TotalCRB would like to offer FREE, volunteer DBS checks to those who are undertaking a vital volunteer role in these unprecedented circumstances we all are facing due to COVID-19.

The DBS have set out guidelines that contains all the information on eligible roles for volunteers and we would refer you to these guidelines to ensure you fully understand who would be eligible for a volunteer DBS check.

Please visit the link below which will, in detail, set out the DBS guidelines for volunteers during the Coronavirus.

TotalCRB are proud to have already processed many applications under the Free-of-charge DBS applications and fast track barred list check service. This is to ensure vital roles within our NHS and healthcare sector continue without delay. We hope to help many more people and organisations who are volunteering through these difficult times.
