Important update to DBS prices from 2nd December 

This is a reminder that the  DBS are increasing their prices from 2nd December 2024.  T his means that you’ll be paying more for DBS Checks, regardless of who you conduct them through.


Unfortunately, we have no control over this price increase. Therefore, from 2nd December, we will be  regrettably forced to increase our own DBS fees accordingly.
