Step 1 - Online Application:

• Go to the Online Disclosures website using this link
• Click the button titled 'Standard/Enhanced DBS Application' or 'Basic Application Disclosure' (Finance and Prayer Teams only)
• When prompted, enter the Organisation Reference 13558 and the organisation code 'NEW13558' (case sensitive) 
• You will now be able to begin your online DBS application.

Step 2 - Verifying Documents: 

As part of the application process, you will be asked to provide three identification documents - see options here. Once you have submitted your online DBS application you will then need to have all three ID documents verified by either a church leader (eg, Vicar, Youth Leader, Kids & Families Pastor, Operations Pastor, Church Warden, Safeguarding Officer etc) or a Church Administrator.

Please forward these instructions to your nominated church leader/administrator.

(You can also get your documents verified by the Post Office for a small fee.)

Important Note: Your three pieces of ID documentation must be within the date range given for the document in question (see here). If it is not within the required dates, your DBS application will be invalid. 

Step 3 - Update Service:

Once you receive your DBS certificate in the post, we strongly recommend that you register with the DBS Update Service  WITHIN 30 DAYS  of the certificate being issued and you’ll not need to complete a new DBS check for New Wine or ANY other organisation when it’s the same workforce (unless they request this).
