DBS business plan: 2021-22
Published 19 May 2021
Applies to England, Northern Ireland and Wales
1. Chairman and Chief Executive’s Foreword
In Summer 2019, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) board co-created the new DBS strategy 2020-25 with our staff and partners through a series of ‘Big Conversations’. This resulted in over 40,000 contributions, comments and ideas to develop the work of DBS.
In 2020-21, the first step on our strategic journey and a year dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, we delivered good operational performance and worked effectively with staff and partners to improve our services and start to transform our organisation. We put detailed strategic plans in place for priority areas. We implemented a new senior leadership structure and transitioned to new service suppliers. We launched OneDBS as a new way of working, introduced our new Strategy Hub for internal communications, and implemented legislative changes to filtering for disclosure products. 2021-22 will be another exciting year for DBS.
Delivering this business plan will significantly improve the way our services are accessed through modernisation, improving the efficiency of our processes for customers. We will strive to achieve further performance improvements and move closer towards being an exemplar organisation and employer of choice, drawing on our learning from a collective sensemaking exercise on our COVID-19 response and from year one of strategy delivery.
We are mindful that COVID-19 will be with us for some time, so have set an ambitious but realistic work plan for the next 12 months.
2. Introduction
The DBS business plan 2021-22 focuses on the actions we need to take over the next 12 months to deliver strong operational performance and the ambitions set out in our five-year strategy.
Quality is at the heart of our work and everything we will do is designed to improve our services and our decision-making. Our intention is to modernise the services we provide, the way we work, and the way we interact with our stakeholders. The actions we will deliver this year contribute to the objectives identified in our co-produced strategy and will make significant contributions to improving the quality of service, the technology we use, our profile and our work with our partners and our staff.
Some of these deliverables form part of ‘business as usual’ activity and are a high priority for us, while other priority deliverables are change and transformation focused.
Delivery of the DBS business plan 2021-22 is supported by the DBS change and transformation plan 2021-22, the DBS technology roadmap 2025, and eight strategic plans for equality, diversity and inclusion, police, Registered Bodies, marketing and business development, partnerships, organisational development, wellbeing and green.
We will also be undertaking phase 2 of redesigning our organisation to ensure we have the right capacity and capability to deliver this business plan.
3. Who we are and what we do
DBS provides disclosure and barring functions on behalf of government. This includes DBS checks for England, Wales, Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man and barring functions for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
We carry out this work from bases in Darlington and Liverpool. DBS was created under the provisions of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. We are a non-departmental public body (NDPB) accountable to Parliament through the Secretary of State for the Home Office. We provide an important service helping to safeguard and protect people in our society while ensuring proportionality and protecting the rights of individuals. We do this by providing relevant information and, where necessary, making barring decisions to help employers make safer recruitment decisions.
DBS issues four levels of certificates of criminal records, known as DBS checks, and we operate a system of updating certificates through our Update Service. We also bar individuals from working or volunteering in certain circumstances. Our work is funded by the fees from our disclosure (DBS check) customers.
Basic DBS check
This is available for any position or purpose and will contain details of convictions and conditional cautions that are considered to be unspent.
Standard DBS check
Standard certificates show relevant convictions and cautions held on the Police National Computer (PNC) and subject to filtering rules.
Enhanced DBS check
An Enhanced DBS check is available to anyone involved in work with vulnerable groups, and other positions involving a high degree of trust. Enhanced certificates contain the same information as the Standard certificate, with the addition of relevant local police force information.
Enhanced with Barred List(s) DBS check
An Enhanced DBS with Barred List(s) certificate will contain the same information as the Enhanced DBS check but includes details of whether the individual is included in one or both of the lists of those barred from working with children and vulnerable groups where the role is in regulated activity.
Barring
We make considered decisions about whether an individual should be barred from engaging in regulated activity with children and/or adults and maintain the Children’s and Adults’ Barred Lists. We make decisions as to whether it is appropriate to remove a person from a Barred List.
Enhanced DBS checks for healthcare professionals (fast track)
In support of the government’s COVID-19 response, we are currently providing a temporary service for certain roles, such as nurses, midwives and social workers. When an application for an Enhanced DBS check comes in and has been identified as an application for particular roles for COVID-19, we will do a check of both Barred Lists within 24 hours. A full Enhanced DBS check is then progressed.
4. DBS priorities and strategic objectives
Our Purpose
Protecting the public by helping employers make safer recruitment decisions and by barring individuals who pose a risk to vulnerable groups from working and volunteering in certain roles.

5. Delivering our strategic objectives
To achieve our vision and deliver year two of our strategy we have identified the following deliverables to be completed this year in each quarter.
All deliverables will be tracked quarterly by the Strategic Leadership Team and assurance will be completed by Quality, Finance and Performance Committee. Those included within the change and transformation plan will also be tracked through Transformation Steering Group and assured by Change Management Committee. As our delivery progresses, we will use our governance processes to make decisions to ensure our strategic approaches and milestones continue to be appropriate and valid for the life of this plan.
Strategic Objective One
We will provide high quality, reliable, consistent, timely and accessible services for our customers.
In year one of our strategy we started to develop a new vision for the customer journey and considered how our products and services might develop for the future. We implemented changes to ensure we were compliant with ‘filtering’ legislation enacted in November 2020 and progressed our barring portal to a prototype. We developed a new organisational design to put insight and intelligence at the heart of decision making, and developed our equality, diversity and inclusion strategic plan, to ensure our services meet the needs of our customers.
In year two, we will continue our customer journey work, while also maintaining a focus on quality in our operational service delivery.

6. Measuring success against the plan - Key Performance Indicators
We measure our progress using a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), which collectively provide an indication of our progress towards our priorities. These have a strong focus on the quality and timeliness of our products and services, as these are the issues that customers tell us are important to them.
In 2020-21, our ability to achieve all our performance targets was affected by COVID-19, although we continued to provide a high quality of service in priority areas and were praised for our overall operational response. We will continue to strive to achieve all our performance targets in 2021-22 as we transition to a post- COVID-19 ‘new normal’, and in some cases have stretched our targets where we feel we are able to do better. Following careful consideration, we have modified two of our ambitious performance indicators for timeliness.
For Basic applications, we will now measure the percentage of applications despatched within two days instead of one day. For Standard applications, we will now measure the percentage of applications despatched within five days instead of four days. We believe these are stretching but more achievable indicators as we continue to manage resourcing pressures and increased demand due to COVID-19 into 2021-22. We will be introducing a new technical solution to help us achieve these targets this year, secure remote access for staff to our R0 IT system.
As part of our Performance Management Framework (PMF), progress towards KPI targets is reviewed on a monthly basis by our Strategic Leadership Team and board, with the Quality, Finance and Performance Committee providing assurance that performance is being managed appropriately. KPIs are supplemented by a range of other measures which operate at a corporate, directorate, service, and team level.

7. Strategic risks to delivery of the plan

Risks are held at strategic, corporate and directorate level.
The table shows risks that, if they materialised, would impact on delivery of business plan strategic objectives. Our new organisational design is a critical mitigation for eight of our ten strategic risks. An ‘X’ marks where a strategic objective would be impacted upon.
