DBS Check from Overseas
I've been accepted into a school in the UK and in order to start the course they say that I need to have a DBS check done for the issue of a airside pass. Since I am not based in the UK I have a few questions about how I can satisfy this requirement as the DBS seems to be catered for people living/that have lived permanently in the UK. I don't have a National Insurance Number (NIN) which is required to have a DBS check done and I can't apply for a NIN from overseas. I have a British passport.
From the DBS website, they have Responsible Organisations which seem to collect and submit your information to the DBS. Are these organisations able to conduct DBS checks for people overseas?
Would a check from one of these services satisfy the requirement for the airside pass?
Has anyone used any of these services before?
Or am I able to get a background check done in the country I'm currently in and use that for the issue of a airside pass?
Any other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
