DBS UPDATE EMAILS – WHAT TO DO GUIDE
Once a DBS Certificate has been issued, you may also wish to enrol in the DBS Update Service. By doing so, provided your details remain unchanged, you may not need to complete another DBS application for cricket in the future.
Please note:
- If you do not enrol in the Update Service and do not provide consent via both required emails each year, your ECB DBS will expire after one year.
- For DBS renewal through the Update Service, you will receive two separate emails annually. Both require action:
- Email from dbs@ecb.disclosures.co.uk
- Subject: ECB DBS Expiry – Important Message – Action required
- Action: Follow the instructions in the email to provide consent.
- Email from donotreply@dbs.gov.uk (Disclosure and Barring Service – not the ECB)
- Subject: FYI: Action required to renew your Update Service subscription
- Action: Log in, give consent, and confirm your personal details (e.g., role, club, volunteer/paid status).
Further details are available on the ECB website here: England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) - The Official Website of the ECB.
