Disclosure And Barring Service – E Bulk Online System PDF 230 KB Minutes: Members
were provided with information about a new initiative that the HR team would be
implementing early in 2015, in relation to the administration of Disclosure and
Barring Service (DBS) disclosure checks. The DBS checks will be processed using
an online E Bulk system, enabling applicants to complete the DBS application
form online instead of via paper-based applications. It
was highlighted that applications were processed via paper-based applications
and in the 12 month period January 2013 – December 2013, the HR Team had
manually administrated 2,713 applications. It
was noted that the process would be significantly faster as the paper
applications would have taken up to 6-8 weeks, however, with the new system 90%
of the Standard DBS checks would be returned within 24 hours and 90% of the
Enhanced DBS checks would be returned within 4 days. RESOLVED: that the report
be noted, as detailed, in the circulated report. |
