DBS checks for CDI members

One of the challenges of working as a private practitioner is obtaining a Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check if you don’t have a sponsoring employer. Following member feedback, the CDI have set up a service whereby the CDI acts as sponsor, enabling members to obtain DBS checks and remove a barrier to applying for contracts.

The CDI has partnered with Complete Background Screening Ltd (CBS).  CBS is a registered Umbrella Body to the Disclosure & Barring Service who are able to provide CDI members with access to DBS checks.  Additionally, once the DBS check is complete members will be able to subscribe to the DBS Update Service, potentially negating the need for further DBS checks in the future.

CBS charges their standard rate for the service of £59 (inc. VAT) for an enhanced level DBS check and digital identity check.  Additionally, you can subscribe to the DBS update service for £13 per annum.
