Handed my DBS check in on Tuesday.

Checked today online.

Passed through name check.
Passed convictions check.
Passed Children barring check.
In printing certificate stage.

Thought this was supposed to take 6 weeks.


I was expecting a little more time to learn the bloody pubs in the city seen as i dont drink. :?

At this time of year they can be done very quickly.
It is in the summer when all the new school teachers are getting them done that the backlog occurs.

Northern problems.

Speech is not one of our strong points.

Should keep away from that gov site.

Now showing as not received... Was at the final stage a few hours ago.

Dafuq is going on on the government websites. I was quite surprised I got my driving licence in 2 days after changing the address online.


Bumped into 2 PH drivers conversing from one side of the road to the other to each other today on the way to the shops.

As per usual. Mate. Your nuts. Don't even bother. Keep away. We are working at a loss each week.


:roll:



Why on earth are they driving then? :shock:

Well don't listen to me.

Apparently the DBS database was broken the other day and I was actually not seeing the correct data for my application. Rang them and they have no record of my application whatsoever.


So thanks Council. For not even getting it onto the database yet. :sad:

So how did they put the wrong information up on you if they didn't have the application? Did they guess that you were going to apply under the reference number that you have?

When I made the thread. I had only just been on and put my reference number into the DBS tracking site.

It came up as all checks done and awaiting certificate print.


Today I checked and got the red writing saying that my application was not on the system and I need to check with the umbrella company dealing with my application.

So I rang DBS. (from work) = free :wink:

They used my reference. Found nothing.
Used my postcode and DOB. Found nothing.
Used the final check of current address and full name. Nothing.

I told them about the site showing the progress yesterday and the person on the phone said that the system has been playing up for the past 48 hours online. So I did not see the correct data.
