From Wednesday 30th April 2025, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checking service provided by Lincolnshire Community and Voluntary Service (LCVS) will no longer be offered.
We will continue to offer general advice about safer recruitment of volunteers in line with our general support offer.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with us.
Following the closure of our internal DBS checking services we are pleased to have brokered a deal with the provider uCheck to access discounted services for Lincolnshire.
Organisations in Lincolnshire can access DBS checks for an administration fee of £8.25 plus VAT, plus the usual cost of the check.
To access this service groups will need to sign up with uCheck for a one-off fee of £49.00 plus VAT, which lasts for the lifetime of their relationship with the provider.
To qualify for the discount you can either send an email directly to Jim Fowler at Jim.Flower@ucheck.co.uk or you can download the UCheck DBS form, complete the details and send it to Jim Fowler at the email address above.
To qualify for the special discounted rate, please ensure you quote ‘VCSLincolnshire’.
Prices for the various checks they offer can be found by following this link to our DBS web page.
The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) helps employers make safer recruitment decisions each year by processing and issuing DBS checks for England, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
DBS also maintains the Adults’ and Children’s Barred Lists, and makes considered decisions as to whether an individual should be included on one or both of these lists and barred from engaging in regulated activity.
You can get more information on the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and how to get a check as an employer and as an individual, including how to apply and guidance, by following this link to the Discloure and Barring Service section on the Government website.
