DBS Check Software
The single central record to manage DBS checks and safeguarding in your school.
Our easy-to-use DBS check software acts as a central hub to manage DBS checks for all staff, visitors, and contractors working in schools. Designed with compliance and simplicity in mind, it replaces time-consuming spreadsheets with smart, secure, and automated DBS check software.
Manage DBS Checks with Confidence…
InVentry’s Single Central Record is the perfect way to keep track of relevant staff and contractor information. The need for spreadsheets and out-dated paper-based systems is no more. This feature keeps addresses, email address and contact information all in one place, as well as all certifications or personal checks that may be needed for your education establishment.
Our Senior Account Manager, Billy Hambling, discusses the Single Central Record feature in more detail
In a Single Central Record System Check That Simplifies Your Checks!
InVentry’s intuitive DBS software provides a centralised, real-time view of all your safeguarding records. The Single Central Record integrates seamlessly with our visitor management system to flag, verify, and audit the DBS status of every person who signs into your site. Perfect for schools, academies, MATs, and educational institutions of all sizes, this solution ensures you’re always ready for inspections — without the stress.
DBS Check Software Features
Staff & Contractor Checks
You can create the necessary checks needed for your staff and contractors. This includes staff training records, contractor liability insurance or any other certifications contractors may need to provide you with.
Expiry Date Notifications
If any information entered into the Single Central Record is due to expire, the required staff will receive an email notification saying it needs renewing or updating.
Customisable Fields for Full Compliance
Every educational institution has its own safeguarding policies – that’s why InVentry’s Single Central Record allows for fully customisable fields. You can record details like right-to-work documentation, qualifications, and identity checks, adapting the platform to meet your school’s unique requirements.
Role-Based Access and GDPR Compliance
Sensitive information is kept secure with role-based access controls, ensuring that only authorised staff can view or edit data. In line with GDPR regulations, the system also maintains a full audit trail so you can easily track updates and demonstrate compliance during inspections or internal audits.
Real-Time Visitor and Contractor Integration
The Single Central Record is fully integrated with InVentry’s visitor management system, enabling real-time updates. As visitors or contractors sign in, their details – including DBS status – are automatically checked and recorded, giving you instant visibility and control.
Easy to Use with Full Training and Support
InVentry’s user-friendly interface is designed for busy school staff who need a fast, reliable system. With full training and ongoing support included, your team can confidently start using the system from day one, reducing administrative burden and helping your school maintain the highest safeguarding standards.
Ofsted Compliant DBS Checks
Ensure Your DBS Checks Comply with Ofsted Using InVentry
For most staff and visitors in a school, an enhanced DBS check with barred list information is mandatory as many of these people are engaging in regulated activity. By using InVentry for your DBS checks you can ensure the safeguarding of all your students and immediately comply with Ofsted requirements.
One Click
Quick, secure, and Ofsted-compliant. With InVentry, DBS-checked visitors and staff can sign in with a single click, saving time and improving site security.
Bulk Upload
Dealing with multiple contractors? Easily upload DBS records in bulk, ensuring all contractor credentials are captured accurately in advance of any site visits.
Badges
Visitor badges are automatically printed with DBS check status clearly displayed, so staff and safeguarding leads can visually confirm clearance on site.
Control
Maintain complete control over your DBS database. Automatically deactivate expired checks or restrict access based on job role or length of contract, helping you keep your Single Central Record up to date and compliant.
DBS Checker Tool
One area where schools often go ‘beyond that which is required’ is by asking for repeated DBS checks on a rolling basis – every three or five years for staff, and every three months for onsite contractors. Through InVentry you can also manage when your DBS checks are due to expire and need to be completed through our easy to use DBS checker tool.
DBS Expiry Management
For schools that require frequent DBS checks – such as contractors who visit every few months – our software allows you to customise check frequency. If a contractor hasn’t been onsite within a specific time period, their existing check can be flagged or disabled, ensuring no gaps in your safeguarding protocol.
Evidence Reporting
Easily generate reports for leadership teams, Ofsted inspectors, or safeguarding audits. Our DBS software allows you to produce clear, traceable evidence that demonstrates your commitment to safe recruitment practices.
