Safe, Secure and Speedy Online DBS Processing

A Service from Protocol

Protocol and the DBS

We have worked closely with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) since its inception as the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) in 2002 to ensure that young people and vulnerable adults at our client organisations are provided with a safe and secure environment.

Over the last twelve years we have built our reputation as the custodians of compliance by delivering a comprehensive safeguarding service. Our dedicated team of Safeguarding Officers have worked tirelessly to ensure that we stay ahead of the ever-changing regulatory framework.

From just £6.50 per application, our online disclosure service, provides a safe, secure, speedy and cost effective solution to the administrative burden that DBS checks can be.
