Our history

New Directions, our parent company, has provided specialist recruitment and training services to the since 1994

To meet the thousands of DBS Checks required for the staff we placed, our expert teams developed a purpose-built, highly effective online DBS system. As a result of it’s success, we launched OnlineDBS in 2016 to provide external access to our DBS services and exceptional turnaround times to organisations UK-wide.

Having provided thousands of checks to employers across the UK, we felt it was time to check ourselves. OnlineDBS was given a new look as Checks Direct in 2021 and we continue to grow as industry leaders.
