Chasing DBS

[vdbfamily]

I have DD age 21 who is having a years break from Uni ( insisted on by Uni) due to poor mental health. She is on a health course that requires enhanced DBS, as does her current job and previous jobs.
Her last application for most recent job she applied for update service and this was 4 months ago. She just rang me in tears as so stressed about this. Her work are chasing her, she will need current DBS to start Uni placement in May, they are not responding to emails, cannot get through on phone. She has had DBS's since she was 17 as has always worked in care homes.
I am worried this will make her anxious and depressed again just before starting her course.
Any suggestions as to why it is taking so long.
If it makes any difference she has been in Lancashire since Sept 22 and before that was in Sussex but had 4 months as au pair in Berlin. Do you think they are doing overseas police check? They can cause delays but would they not let you know?

They don't expire as such but her current employer will not be able to use one that two years old from a different situation. Her placement may not require one if it is the same organisation as before, or they can use Update service once she has her latest one through and subscribes, if she did apply for a fresh one.

As I recall, you have to apply for the update service within 14 days of the dbs being issued. So she can't do that for the two year old one now.

She needs a new one if that's what they are asking for and can then apply to the update service which is about £13 or at least was last year.

I live in south Cambridgeshire and as a nurse I have been stopped from working. Mine was put in on the 2nd of May. The online system is mean to be quicker. Quicker my a$$
