DBS Nightmare

[LouiseG37]

Is anyone currently having issues waiting for an enhanced DBS? It's been 4 months and I'm waiting to start a role in a school. They hace chased but have been told that because it's stuck at police records, they can't say much more. I have lived at 2 addresses in the last few years which I understand delays matters, and of course I know nothing will show, but this is so frustrating 😖

Is it possible to find out how long you are likely to wait?

We are having the same problem. Do you have a reference number to track progress? Also if Social Services are involved or of the DBS is for certain jobs requests for escalation can be submitted. We were told exactly the same thing and now escalated.
