DBS Checks
If you are working with Children or Vulnerable Adults, Staff and Volunteers may be required by law to have a DBS check, depending on the role being undertaken. Volunteer Centre Dorset can help with DBS checks for Volunteers and Staff from any Voluntary or Charitable Organisation in Dorset. Staff and Volunteers complete their DBS check with the Volunteer Centre via an online platform, we currently use uCheck to provide this service who charge an administration fee for each application.
Charges
To enable us to continue to provide this service, taking into account increasing costs and limited funding, we have had to introduce a pricing structure as follows:
|
One-off initial charge to register your organisation (your organisation name will be on the DBS certificate) |
£30.00 (inc VAT) |

For organisations with an income under £50k, the first 12 volunteer checks are FREE. Additional checks will be subject to the same charges as in the rest of this table |
