WMCA DBS Service


Fast, efficient and cost effective online DBS checks for Care Providers




The WMCA DBS System allows employers to submit applications online and receive the results quickly electronically.


WMCA offers Care Providers, a self administered system which can be accessed 24 hours a day. Users have their own secure control panel from where they can add new candidates, monitor the progress of their applications and more importantly see the results as they come in.

Specialists in the care industry


Our staff understand the Care Industry, therefore we can ensure you have industry specific advice every step of the way, which is a very different service to generic DBS offerings.

Quick and Simple


Members have been using our system for years and once they have done the first one can’t believe how easy it is! We are confident that this system offers employer’s one of the fastest and simplest Criminal Record checking services available.



Once you press ‘Approve’ your application is checked and if you are on direct debit sent straight away  to the DBS for processing.
