Once uCheck receives a substantive (complete) response:
uCheck emails your response to the DBS.
The DBS reviews your answers and decides:
Whether the information is sufficient and correct, or
Whether there is an error in the original application.
If the DBS confirms the application information is incorrect Address discrepancies are a common example of incorrect information that can lead to application withdrawal.
If the DBS confirms that information on the application form is incorrect: This includes cases where the address history provided does not match the records confirmed during the DBS query.
The DBS will not amend the existing application.
Instead, the current application will be withdrawn.
The fee for that application will be forfeited (no refund). This policy underscores the importance of submitting accurate and complete information in the initial application.
If you still need a DBS check for the applicant:
You must submit a new application with the correct information. To ensure accuracy, double-check all details, including address history, and refer to official documents like utility bills or bank statements.
