What free means here
CMB funds the check.
The right checks still matter.
For an approved request under this benefit, CMB covers the enhanced DBS application and any associated handling cost. We do not later deduct that funded cost from the staff member.
An enhanced check can only be requested where the actual role is eligible. Any barred-list check also needs the appropriate eligibility. The requirements are assessed before an application is arranged.
Official guidance: DBS eligibility and the appropriate level of check.
- Start with the role
Eligibility depends on the duties and setting. A job title or request in the portal is not enough to establish that an enhanced check is appropriate.
- Use the agreed application route
CMB explains the provider and identity-verification process. Do not put identity documents, certificate copies or criminal-record information into portal notes.
- Keep the outcome separate
“Application arranged” records the funded application step. It does not mean a certificate has arrived, that its information has been assessed or that you are cleared for work.
Your request, step by step
Supported from
the first question.
Review eligibility
CMB considers the actual duties, required check level and appropriate jurisdiction before approving funding.
Arrange the application
The team provides the separate application and identity-check instructions. Funding and arrangement are recorded in the portal.
Complete the wider review
Any certificate and other recruitment evidence are reviewed through the agreed process. Shift clearance is managed separately.
A little more clarity
Good to know.
Does this cover every role automatically?
No. The enhanced check must be legally available for the role and required for the proposed work. CMB reviews the request before confirming funding and arranging an application.
Does DBS apply throughout the UK?
DBS guidance covers England and Wales, with separate disclosure arrangements in Scotland and Northern Ireland. CMB will discuss the appropriate route for the setting rather than treating all checks as interchangeable.
Can I upload a DBS certificate to this website?
No. The benefit request does not collect certificate files, identity documents or criminal-record information. CMB will provide the appropriate secure process separately.
Does a free check guarantee a job or shift?
No. A funded application is one onboarding benefit. Registration, relevant checks, professional suitability, client requirements and a confirmed booking still apply.
