Application Process for On-Line DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service) formally known as CRB
This brief guide has been produced to assist you in obtaining a DBS check on-line through England Netball. This process is now administered through a company called TMG Online Services, who have taken the responsibility for administering DBS checks on behalf of a wide range of organisations.
Cheshire Netball is committed to ensuring the highest possible standards in protecting and safeguarding all our young players and those that are involved with both Club and Cheshire County. As a consequence those involved in what is termed ‘regulated activity’ are required to have an enhanced DBS check. Regulated activity is defined as anyone who teaches, trains, coaches or supervises young people; so would cover all adults involved in coaching, caring, training, supervising, or acting in the capacity of manager, first aider or physiotherapist.
It is important to remember however that a DBS check is only one aspect in keeping our young people safe; there are a number of training courses available through EN for you to increase your awareness of these issues. If you have any concerns about an individual, it is important you contact your welfare officer or EN for further advice.

- As an applicant for an on-line DBS check you will need to complete an on-line DBS application form
- Due to changes in the legislation, E.N. can no longer accept paper applications.
- To do this you need to contact TMG either by e-mail or phone
- online@tmgcrb.co.uk or 0115 969 4606
- They will ask you some relevant questions and you will need to have an e-mail address, your title and they need to know if you are a volunteer or paid.
- TMG will then supply you with an organisational ID and a link to allow you to start filling out the application form.
- The form will request that you identify a verifier when you have completed all the relevant sections
- You can then either contact me or another England Netball accredited verifier and arrange a verification meeting where we need to have internet access
- There are a list of verifiers on the welcome page
- You will need to bring with you the relevant valid identity documents. You can pre-select these documents on the form.
- You will need to confirm that one document contains your current address and one contains your date of birth.
- The verifier will check the form for accuracy, validate your ID documents and complete the verifier section of the application
- The verifier will then submit your completed application form electronically to TMG.
- Current fees for on-line are £11.40 (volunteers) and £55.40 (paid) which are paid to TMG through either Paypal or a credit card at the point of verification.
- The applicant will also be required to complete and sign a CONSENT FORM. (The verifier will have a blank for you to complete)
- Recent legislation states that only the applicant will receive a copy of their certificate, NOT E.N.
- E.N. receive a daily report from TMG regarding positive disclosures, but not the specific detail.
- As a consequence the consent form allows E.N. to see a copy of your DBS certificate if deemed necessary by E.N.
