DBS Fees Are Changing in December
The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is a government agency that provides criminal record checks for employment purposes. From December 2024, the fees for DBS checks will be changing.
The new fees are as follows:
- Standard DBS check: £40 (up from £35)
- Enhanced DBS check: £60 (up from £55)
- Enhanced DBS check with barred list: £64 (up from £59)
The reason for the increase in fees is to cover the rising costs of providing DBS checks. The DBS is a not-for-profit organisation, and the fees it charges are used to cover the cost of its operations.
The DBS is reminding employers that they should only ask for a DBS check if it is necessary for the role. Employers should also consider whether a less expensive check, such as a basic DBS check, would be sufficient.
