DBS Checking

As part of our ongoing efforts to make member benefits easier to access, we are pleased to announce a new partnership with the online DBS umbrella body, uCheck.

This change means that groups will no longer need to contact NODA Head Office to obtain paper forms, helping to streamline and speed up the DBS checking process. From today, we will no longer be issuing paper forms to members.

The process is straightforward. Your group’s DBS contact or Safeguarding Lead will need to register your group on the uCheck website using the link below. There is a one-off registration fee to uCheck of £58.80 inc VAT. Once registered, you will be able to request DBS checks as needed directly through the uCheck platform.

How much does it cost?

One-off registration fee £58.80 inc VAT.

Enhanced disclosure - £11.80 inc VAT

Standard disclosure - £11.80 inc VAT
