About us


rw.employmentcheck.org.uk is the fast, secure online route for Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, provided by Richmond and Wandsworth Councils.

We have been a registered umbrella body with the DBS since 2002. As an umbrella body with the DBS, we are able to process DBS checks on your behalf allowing you to enjoy all the benefits e-Bulk provides.

The system utilises e-Bulk to transfer multiple applications to the DBS. This offers real benefits including:- 

  • Reducing the time and cost involved in administering your disclosure process
  • Eliminating most data error through the auto-validated online form
  • No paper application forms to complete
  • No postal or courier services to use
  • A much shorter processing time


We specialise in checks on behalf of schools, voluntary and charitable organisations.
