Ambition24hours DBS And Update Service

At Ambition24hours, we take the safety and security of our healthcare professionals and patients very seriously. That's why we require all nursing and care staff working in healthcare in the UK to have an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. 

What Is A DBS Check? 

A DBS check is a background check that is required for anyone working in healthcare in the UK. It is designed to ensure that healthcare professionals are suitable to work with vulnerable adults and children. An enhanced DBS check includes a check of an individual's criminal history, as well as any other relevant information that may be held by the police. 

What Is The Update Service? 

The DBS update service is an online service that allows individuals to keep their DBS certificates up to date and allows employers to check an employee's DBS status online. The update service is available for anyone who has had an enhanced DBS check and is registered with the service. 

Why Is The Update Service Important? 

If you're a nursing or care professional working in healthcare in the UK, registering for the update service is important for several reasons. Firstly, it allows you to take your DBS certificate with you when you change jobs. This means that you don't have to apply for a new DBS check every time you change employers, saving you time and money. 

Secondly, the update service ensures that your DBS check is always up to date. This is important because many healthcare facilities require their staff to have a valid DBS check in order to work on their premises. By keeping your DBS certificate up to date, you'll be able to continue working without interruption. 

Finally, registering for the update service is a way to demonstrate your commitment to the safety and security of your patients. By keeping your DBS check up to date and making it available to your employer, you'll be able to reassure patients and their families that you're a trustworthy and responsible healthcare professional. 

At Ambition24hours, we require all of our nursing and care staff to have an enhanced DBS check and to be registered with the update service. This ensures that we're able to provide the highest standards of care to our patients, while also meeting our legal and regulatory obligations.
