Paperwork - Enhanced, Clean DBS

You will need to have an up to date enhanced check with barred lists from the Disclosure and Barring Service, if you want to look after children for a living. 
The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) carries out enhanced checks with barred lists on anyone working with children, to make sure the children are safe. DBS checks usually take about 6 weeks. At the end you will get a certificate which you must keep safe.
In case you currently do not have this type of DBS we recommend that you use Little Beans Nanny Agency's DBS service - currently it costs £66 to apply for the enhanced DBS check with them.

DBS Update service
We recommend that as soon as your DBS arrives you register for the DBS Update Service.
The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Update Service allows:

• applicants to keep their DBS certificates up to date
• employers to check a DBS certificate
• It costs £13 per year and you can pay by debit or credit card.

You will need your application reference number (called ‘form ref’ on your application form) and DBS must receive your application form within 28 days. This means that you have only 28 days to apply for the Update Service after you receive your new DBS. This also means that if you are on the update service you will not need to pay for a new DBS again, it just keeps on rolling until you no longer need it.
