The update service allows your certificate to be ‘transferable’ as other providers can check this online.
The update service costs you £16 a year (the university does not cover this), but you are required to sign up your DBS within 30 days of the certificate being issues.
If you currently hold a DBS which is registered with the update service, please contact professionalchecks@shu.ac.uk to find out if this is the correct level for your course.
