On uCheck’s platform, your employer can request an Adult First Check:
When they first submit your DBS application, or
Later, if the full DBS application is taking longer than expected.
Typical Timeframes
Adult First results are usually returned within 24 hours.
In some cases, they may take up to three working days.
How Results Are Shown
When the Adult First result is available:
uCheck automatically adds a note to your application.
This note tells the employer one of the following:
No Match
You can start work under supervision.
Please Wait
You must not start work yet.
The employer must wait for the full DBS certificate before you start.
Certificate Issued
The full DBS certificate has already been issued
Before the Adult First Check could be completed.
