A Better Way to Manage Employee DBS Checks
DBS checks for employers can quickly become time-consuming.
Many organisations still rely on spreadsheets, email chains, paper forms, and disconnected systems just to process a single applicant. As hiring volumes increase, this becomes difficult to manage consistently and creates unnecessary admin for internal teams.
1Check provides a simpler, faster alternative.
Our employer-focused DBS platform allows you to manage online DBS checks, Digital ID verification, Right to Work checks, and wider compliance checks through one connected system.
Instead of chasing applicants and manually managing every step, you simply add the employee, select the checks you need, and the system guides the rest of the process automatically.
Why Employers Use 1Check
Add Applicants in Seconds
Add the applicant’s details, select the Standard DBS check, and the system will guide the process from there.
Free Fast Tracking
Every application we receive before 4pm (Mon-Fri) is processed the same day.
Digital ID Available
Speed up applications by allowing applicants to verify their identity remotely using Digital ID checks.
Track Every Check
See progress clearly from your dashboard, so you always know what has been completed and what is outstanding.
Download PDF Summaries

More Than DBS Checks
Manage DBS, Digital ID, Right to Work, references, and wider background checks through one platform.
Our 14 Day Money Back Guarantee
We believe DBS checks should move quickly
When you are onboarding staff, delays can create real operational problems. Vacant shifts remain unfilled, start dates get pushed back, and internal teams end up spending time chasing updates instead of focusing on recruitment.
That is why we offer a 14 Day Money Back Guarantee on eligible Enhanced DBS checks.
If the Result Summary is not available within 14 working days of the DBS confirming receipt of the application, we will refund the Admin Fee for that DBS check.
This is not a limited “priority upgrade” or a hidden premium extra. It is included because we genuinely believe in the speed and efficiency of our process.
Full eligibility criteria, exclusions, and claim instructions can be found within our Terms and Conditions.

Free Fast Track DBS Checks for Employers
Delays during onboarding can slow down recruitment, create unnecessary admin, and leave important roles unfilled for longer than needed.
That is why 1Check includes free fast track processing as part of the system.
Every completed application submitted to us before 4pm Monday to Friday is processed and sent to the DBS the very same day.
We do not hold applications back and wait to send them in large batches days later.
This helps reduce unnecessary delays and keeps your applications moving as quickly as possible from the moment your applicant completes their information.

Speed Up DBS Checks With Digital ID
One of the most common reasons DBS checks are delayed is identity verification. If documents need to be checked manually, the process can quickly slow down.
With 1Check, applicants can complete a secure Digital ID check online. Once completed, this can be linked directly to their DBS check, helping the application move forward faster and with less admin.
Select DBS + Digital ID
Choose the DBS check and add Digital ID verification at the same time.
Applicant Verifies Online
The applicant securely verifies their identity remotely, without needing an in-person document check.
DBS Check Moves Faster
Once identity is complete, the DBS application can be prepared and submitted more quickly.
