How do I tell you my side of things? / send in representations?

You don't need to send us anything unless you receive a 'minded-to-bar' or 'intention-to-bar' letter.

Details on representations can be found in the DBS barring and referrals: making representations guidance. 

Representations can be sent in the following ways:
Email: contactus@dbs.gov.uk
Emails must not exceed 25mb

Files exceeding this size will need to be downloaded to USB. We recommend that you password protect the file and post it to:

Disclosure and Barring Service
PO Box 3963
Royal Wootton Bassett
SN4 4HH

Documents can also be posted to this address where digital access is not available.

We recommend any sensitive information is posted using a secure trackable postage method.

Please include your case reference number within any correspondence.
