Enhanced disclosure check time scales

Been offered a job yesterday who need a enhanced dbs check and wondering does anyone know how long they are presently taking.

Just received mine in post. It took about a week.

It depends where you have lived, we are getting delays with recruits who have had multiple London addresses, I've got a candidate currently who has been waiting six weeks, he was a student in London and has had half a dozen addresses there in the last decade, another we started this month hers took a month which is fairly usual. It's still much faster than the old CRB system, DHs first CRB took three months and that was fairly typical for anyone who'd had London addresses at the time

Probably doesn’t help but I have had 3 basic ones done in the last 3 months (don’t ask!) and all took about 3-4 days

Thanks everyone I'm in the South West

DH just had one and it took less than a week.
