Introduction

The Hackney Learning Trust online DBS system and our dedicated DBS professionals help employers to make safer recruitment decisions. 

We are not an anonymous IT company and understand your needs because we are in the same business.

As an Umbrella Body we are able to offer you the opportunity to use our fast, friendly and efficient service to process your DBS applications for all your new staff and renewals. With our DBS-approved system this can all be done seamlessly online following our simple three-step process – Set up, Apply, Verify.

Self-employed individuals: We are also able to offer a DBS service to self-employed individuals, depending on the nature of the work and where you are based. Please contact us (020 8820 7301 or dbs@learningtrust.co.uk) to see if we can help.

Testimonials

"The new online DBS system is great, I wish we had had it years ago. From an administrative point of view it is easy to use, the chase up reminders are automatic and the checks come back very quickly. I would highly recommend it."
