📝 TL;DR:

DBS checks are being missed in care homes, putting compliance and CQC ratings at risk.

Our platform links DBS tracking directly into your rota, compliance, recruitment, and training, saving time, stress, and avoiding costly mistakes. With over 9,000 users already onboard, JMS One keeps you one step ahead of CQC and fully in control of your workforce management.

Let’s face it, DBS checks aren’t exciting, but missing one can cause a real headache (and a CQC nightmare).

Whether you’re managing a small residential home or a group of sites, keeping on top of staff compliance is no small task. But what if your rota system for care homes could also act as your compliance assistant?

👋 Enter JMS One, the AI-powered workforce platform doing the boring bits so you don’t have to.

📰 What’s Happening in the Sector?

Recent reports show that DBS checks are taking months, with some staff waiting over seven months for clearance in places like Sussex (BBC).

Meanwhile, the Nursing Times revealed many staff are expected to fund their own DBS checks, and some employers are struggling to stay on top of them, especially in high-turnover environments.

This isn’t just a delay, it’s a compliance risk ⚠️. And if you’re preparing for a CQC inspection, that’s the last thing you want hanging over your head.
