Yes, oldest son has signed up for the update service - basically another way of relieving you of your hard earned cash - £14 a year. And as I understand it now if you have a current DBS it will be accepted if you change jobs. But the whole thing is a joke, with some employers asking for these even when there isn't the slightest need, damned ridiculous, and as usual someone is making a lot of cash off the back of this. But for people to think there is something wrong with you as an individual because the checks take so long is an outrage. |
