A bad choice for enhanced checks

The uCheck service has the potential to be quite good, but the counter-signatory team evidently don't know how to process checks in line with DBS policy.

If you are looking to process checks at any enhanced level, save yourself hours of heartache and pointless email exchanges saying the same thing repeatedly, and avoid having to direct your employees to DBS policy and your own published guidance by using an alternative provider.

The customer service is also very poor, and consistently disappointing - with salespeople then hassling you to buy services that you don't want.

Hello Natalie,

Thank you for providing further information.

As discussed via email, the DBS and police are responsible for carrying out the vetting of DBS applications and any delays are as a result of their process. uCheck provide a platform through which applications can be submitted to the DBS, but beyond this we are only able to escalate applications once they have been in stage 4 of the vetting process in accordance with a Service Level Agreement between the DBS and the police.
