Dear Sir/Madam,

Please would it be possible, under the Freedom of Information Act, to have the following information:

2. How many DBS checks do you carry out each year, broken down by type eg. Standard, Basic or Enhanced?
3. Are you a registered body at the DBS that umbrellas other organisations?
4. Are you currently doing your DBS checks online and if so, what system do you use?

I would be most grateful for a response as quickly as possible.

Yours faithfully,
