This online service at disclosure.capitarvs.co.uk is designed to help organisations carry out DBS checks. After logging in, select ‘Manage DBS checks’, request a one-time passcode and enter the required security information. Your DBS applications will then be shown, and you can view the necessary certificate.

To access these services your organisation must follow one of two routes:

• By registering to become a Registered Body.

• By enlisting the services of an Umbrella Body such as Atlantic Data.

How can I register to use this service?

To register for the service please contact us. You can find our contact information by selecting the “Contact” link in the information area.

The pricing structure works on a fixed pricing structure. However different organisations require different services in a way that best fits with their organisations structure. With this in mind we believe it is best for you to contact us to discuss our services and to find out which services are best for you.

How does the Disclosure process work?

In order for an individual or organisation to make a Disclosure application they must register with the DBS to become a registered body in their own right. This means nominating a lead counter signatory for your organisation who, will have to undergo an enhanced disclosure check themselves. There is however a registration fee of £300.

Alternatively an individual or organisation may prefer to undertake the services of an Umbrella Body like Atlantic Data Ltd. who will act as an intermediary and countersign the application on the organisation or individual’s behalf. Once either of these two routes has been adopted the applicant must fill out a form which will be checked by the registered body and then sent to the DBS for processing. Finally a Disclosure certificate will be issued to the applicant.

Who needs to apply for a Disclosure check?

Anyone who is working with children or adults whether in a paid or unpaid capacity will need to have either a Standard or Enhanced Disclosure check. In addition, if an individual is likely to come into contact with vulnerable people either through the course of their work or for a specific purpose, then it is likely that your organisation will need to ensure a disclosure check is carried out. This includes Trustees of Children’s Charities and individuals who sit on the management committees of projects that work with children. A Disclosure may only be requested for those applicants for whom you are offering employment.

What types of Disclosures exist?

There are three types of Disclosure:

Basic Disclosures: All employers and volunteering organisations are entitled to ask prospective employees/volunteers to obtain a Basic Disclosure. This Disclosure is available to all members of the public. Basic Disclosure will show all convictions held on the Police National Computer (PNC) which are not ‘spent’ as defined under the terms of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974

Standard Disclosure: A Standard Disclosure shows any cautions, convictions, reprimands and warnings on an applicant’s record

Enhanced Disclosures: An Enhanced Disclosure shows any cautions, convictions, reprimands and warnings on an applicant’s record. It is also processed by the local police force. In some instances, it may involve checks against the barring registers
