How long does it normally take for a dbs check to come back, and who does it go to. ?

Asked

We unfortunately have no control on how long DBS checks take. We use a system called GBG and they can take anywhere between 1-4 weeks to come back to us. However, while we wait for the DBS to come back it gives us time to obtain references from previous employers.
