My DBS application has been cancelled

Please note that there is a time limit from initiating an application to it being submitted to the DBS for checks.  If the applicant has not completed the application or it hasn't progressed through all stages then it will be cancelled after 3 months.

You will then need to get a new application initiated.

If your DBS application has been cancelled and you are not sure why, you can contact the DBS team at ECB at [e-mail] who will be able to advise.
