Enhanced DBS check?

[Inkdrinker]

Hi,

I'm finally going back to work after having 7 years off work due to mental health problems.

I'm currently waiting on an enhanced dbs check and I'm wondering how long that tends to take. Obviously, it's just been Easter so I'm expecting some delays.

Any tips for going back to work would be much appreciated. I'm quite worried about how I will fit in, I'm autistic and I never really know how to socialise and after being out of work for so long, I'm really worried.

It can take anything from days to months depending what system they use and priority. Just try to be friendly. You don't need to go ott but just ask a little about them, their role and listen.
