From 17 June 2013, employers could have cheaper, quicker access to criminal records information.
The Disclosure and Barring Service (an amalgamation of the Criminal Records Bureau and the Independent Safeguarding Authority) is launching a new Update Service which will allow prospective employers to check that a job applicant's DBS certificates are still valid and up-to-date.
The flipside of this is that the financial burden of these updates falls with job applicants who are set to pick up the £13-a-year fee for the system. A heavy price to pay? If it means they get the job then maybe not.
