We have been using the DBS service for many years. As a large homecare provider, Will and Liz do a lot of checks for us and they are amazing – they really know what they’re talking about and are always helpful. The service is seamless.

I have a good working relationship with Nigel in Payroll, he helps us out a lot with advice, with sometimes complex issues. He is approachable, always responds quickly and I trust him implicitly.

We have used several HR providers in the past but would rather buy from a fellow infrastructure organisation. The advantage we have with CBR is they know the VCSE sector, our value base, why we want to do things a certain way – Kate understands the issues. The benefit of external HR is they are independent. I often cite CBR HR as an example of good practice.
