Case Study: Wow World Group achieves rapid, efficient DBS checks with GBG Online Disclosures (GBG)

Making DBS checking swift and simple for franchisees

Wow World Group, a Salisbury-based education franchisor with 60 franchisors and over 300 franchisees, faced slow, paper-based DBS checking that created heavy administration and delays. To streamline safeguarding checks and meet membership requirements, Wow World Group partnered with GBG and adopted GBG Online Disclosures.

GBG deployed a customised GBG Online Disclosures solution (rolled out in 2017) with online forms, emailed reminders, mobile access and tiered manager permissions, enabling checks to be completed in days or up to two weeks. The result: franchisors and franchisees now complete 99% of the work themselves, weekly DBS admin has been cut from days to an hour or two, reporting is instantaneous and Wow World Group can confidently enforce compliance.
