Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Applications - Stage 4 Delays
We ask that you do not contact First Advantage if your application is delayed at Stage 4. First Advantage will escalate any applications with the DBS at Stage 4 for more than 60 days on your behalf.
Stage 4 is the Police queue which can vary across regions. Although Police performance remains strong, they have found it difficult to keep on top of the increased demand received.
To tackle any backlogs, many forces are currently onboarding additional resource receiving support from other forces and working extended hours.
Further information relating to Stage 4 processing can be found on the DBS website
