DBS launches 2025 Employer Feedback Survey

Today (10 September), the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) launched its 2025 Employer Feedback Survey to collect feedback from businesses and organisations that use DBS services for recruitment and employment activities.

The survey has been designed to understand employer satisfaction with DBS services, the value that DBS certificates and barred lists offer for recruitment activities, and identify areas where DBS can improve its services.

The survey is intended for employers who use DBS products and services for recruitment or employment activities. This includes anyone who uses Basic, Standard, or Enhanced DBS checks, or the Update Service, or makes Barring Referrals.

DBS would like to hear from employers of all backgrounds and characteristics across different sectors and organisation sizes. Whether you use DBS services regularly or occasionally, your perspective is valuable.

The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous.
