Security Watchdog is one of the UK’s largest DBS Umbrella Bodies, handling in excess of 850,000 checks per year. Its tried and trusted eBulkPlus is used on behalf of a range of clients, including:

• Government departments like the Home Office and regulators like Ofsted choose to invest in eBulkPlus to undertake mandatory pre-employment checks for civil servants and temporary staff working within the government.
• Schools and Early Years providers who have a statutory duty to perform pre-employment screening of staff, including verifying the identity of applicants, their right to work and criminal record.
• Retailers who need bulk screening for seasonal or scale-up hires to verify individuals’ financial, criminal, and social media history.
• NHS trusts who need to ensure those with access to patients and their data, controlled substances and intellectual property have been rigorously vetted.

As well as being fully approved and accredited by the DBS and MoJ (Ministry of Justice), Security Watchdog is also the first Registered Body (RB) to become an approved e-broker. This allows other Registered Bodies to host our eBulkPlus solution whilst retaining their RB status with the DBS.
