We are experiencing some issues with our member portal. Some members may be unable to access the portal or some of the resources. We are sorry for any inconvenience and are working hard to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. 

If an application for a paid role has been at stage 4 with the police for more than 28 days and there is a deadline where if the certificate is not issued the person will lose their job or the employment offer will be withdrawn, then it is possible we can request a ‘Risk to employment escalation’. 

It is important to stress, that a risk to employment escalation is not a guarantee the application will be completed by the deadline date, but it is escalated with the police as a critical case by the DBS. 

The DBS will not contact the manager or person making the employment decision, but they need this as there is a very small chance the police may need to contact them.
