I went to U-Check Help Team with a question regarding the DBS application level I should make
I went to U-Check Help Team with a question as an employer, regarding permission to request an Enhanced DBS for a new role we are creating. Whilst I studied all the literature, new roles can be borderline between Basic and Enhanced. Once I had studied all aspects internally, I reached out for advice and Alexandra was brilliant and qualified the role with a key aspect in the title within hours. This means I can go ahead smoothly without the too/fro scenario I have experienced in similar situations with other agencies. Thank you, Alexandra,!

Terrible service for enhanced DBS
Terrible service for enhanced DBS checks as you can see with other comments. They maybe alright for standard ones. It took a lot of back and forth for them to realise that working with vulnerable children would require enhanced checks. Then my application was rejected on the shininess of my passport photo which I could clearly see was fine. Then they couldn't do anything because they outsource their photographic checks to another company and so then only offered a partial refund and said I would have to start everything from scratch. Offloading that part of process (checking the photo) to some other company and then trying to use that as a justification for not providing a full refund is a bit of a scam. Best to avoid for enhanced DBS checks.
Correction: Wow they even dispute your reviews saying they're for another company. So lots of negative reviews will have been taken off Trustpilot. I have never seen that before! Avoid!!!!!

Ben was incredibly helpful
Ben was incredibly helpful in helping me cancel my DBS check when it was no longer required. What I thought would be a really stressful job was actually incredibly easy thanks to him.
Thank you Ben!

Shana K
Got put through to Sharna K to help chase my DBS. She went above and beyond to help and given me all revelant information I'll need from now on.
With her friendly, professional and knowledgeable she is, she should definitely be apart of the training team.
I always on the phone with customer services and feel let down with how some people are. I'm in slight shock with how Sharna K is, refreshing.
