I was told told to submit my DBS form at least 6 weeks before my badge needed renewing.
Sent it off on the 10th March and just got it back today. 10 days including a weekend. There is hope for us yet.

I was considering it but not sure if I will see any benefit, we currently have a 3 year badge and our council don't do online checks. So at £13 per year it does`t really save me much.

it'll save a fiver - but in the long term wouldn't it save any heartache from delays?

& your council need a kick up the backside if they aint able to check online.
