Cost and process.

Whether you’re looking for tailored, “pay-as-you-go” solutions or prefer the predictability of an annual fixed-price service, we’ve got options across our HR&OD services to fit your organisation’s needs and budget.
Please note that the cost for a DBS check is set by the DBS. However, Wiltshire Council charges an admin fee of £17.50 per check. Volunteers checks are free of charge, but the admin fee still applies.

Recruitment & DBS Checks
