The Update Service is a Government service which allows people to potentially use the same DBS across multiple organisations provided the type of check is correct for their different roles.

This means that the level of your DBS check that is registered with the Update Service needs to be right for your role in tennis. If it is, your DBS can be accepted by the LTA through a process called a Status Check.  

You can find out what level of check you currently have by looking at your DBS certificate and using the Details of Levels of Check  document. 

You can also use our guidance flowchart to help establish whether a Status Check can be done.
