What Happens After You Approve an Application

Learn what happens in uCheck after you approve a DBS application, including how it enters the countersigning queue and when uCheck may contact you with eligibility queries before signing.

Written by Ben Nicholas

1. Application enters the countersigning queue

Once you, as the client, approve an application:

  • The application enters uCheck’s countersigning queue.

From this queue, uCheck will:

  • Review the application and the “position applied for” details.

  • Decide whether:

    • To raise questions about eligibility, or

    • To proceed with countersigning if everything is in order.

2. Possible eligibility queries

If anything about the application is unclear, for example:

  • The role description does not clearly show legal eligibility, or

  • The requested level of check or barred list does not obviously match the role,

uCheck may:

  • Contact you with questions before countersigning.

  • Ask you to clarify or adjust the information so it meets DBS rules.
