. Subscribers to the Update Service will be emailed 30 days before their renewal date to ask if they wish to stay subscribed.

The renewal email will ask volunteers to access their Update Service Account and confirm that they wish to continue with the service.

For those who confirm, this request will be repeated annually. If no confirmation is made, their volunteer subscription will automatically be cancelled. Volunteers who do not renew their subscription will not be able to keep their DBS certificate(s) up to date and

organisations will not be able to check them. They will need to reapply for a DBS check if they need one in the future.
