The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is planning to change the cost of DBS checks and the DBS Update Service from 2nd December 2024 (Subject to ministerial approval)

All product fees will be increasing however DBS checks for volunteers will remain free-of-charge. Details of the individual fee changes will be finalised once the proposal has been laid in Parliament on 4^th November 2024, indicative fees are below:-

Fee Proposal Date                 Enhanced       Standard            Update Service          Basic

2^nd December 2024                   £49.50            £21.50                 £16.00                    £21.50

BWSW offer a free of charge service for the processing of DBS checks and unfortuantely, the increase by the DBS for their charges is out of our control.
