Enhanced DBS Checks for Safeguarding

Safeguarding at the Naval Children’s Charity through Enhanced DBS Checks

The Naval Children’s Charity has been a beacon of support for children and young people with parents in the Navy. Their dedicated services make a positive difference in many young lives, necessitating the involvement of committed staff and volunteers. However, given the vulnerable nature of their beneficiaries, there was an imperative need to ensure that these staff members and volunteers were vetted thoroughly before they were brought on board.

Clare, from the Naval Children’s Charity, faced the challenge of balancing her demanding role in the charity with the task of ensuring that their staff and volunteers underwent Enhanced DBS checks. They needed to find a reliable and efficient screening provider who could simplify the process without compromising on the thoroughness or the timeliness of the checks.

We have been using Secure Screening Services for many years now. We find them easy to use and helpful to communicate with.”

Following a setup call from the Secure Screening Services team, Clare was introduced to a user-friendly portal where she could design a screening package tailored to the specific needs of the charity. The screening system was designed keeping the candidates' convenience in mind. They could undergo the process without it being time-consuming or complex, which was essential for Clare.

Secure Screening Services delivered on their promise. The Naval Children’s Charity received all their Enhanced DBS checks within the stipulated timeframe. The process was smooth, efficient, and in line with the charity’s needs.

With a rapidly expanding team that also uses volunteers on a regular basis this service is invaluable to us as a National charity, providing timely reports to us.”

The collaboration fostered a strong relationship between the two organisations. The Naval Children’s Charity now confidently uses the Secure Screening Services portal whenever needed, assured of the quality and timeliness of the results.

Safeguarding vulnerable populations, especially children, is a critical responsibility. Through the collaborative efforts of the Naval Children’s Charity and Secure Screening Services, not only has the process of screening been made efficient and straightforward, but it has also ensured that the charity continues its commendable work with complete peace of mind about the integrity of its team.
