Update regarding DBS performance
The DBS have released figures about current performance in light of the impact on their turnaround times due to the pandemic. Given the impact this has on your own operations we wanted to share the details with you.
The DBS revealed that there's been quite a spike in turnaround times since the start of the year. They assure us, however, that these are returning to pre-Christmas levels with no significant delays.
Here's a table showing the DBS's published service standards compared with the actual performance of the DBS checks we have put through on your behalf:

80% of Enhanced checks issued within 14 days
