You're out of date. According to what I've been told, any organization
can accept an existing DBS check rather than doing its own. Obviously it
needs to consider the risks in doing so, and needs to do the identity
check.

Perhaps I identified the wrong failure mode. On second thoughts more
likely it's because at the application stage (to multiple organisations
for a summer of bits-and-pieces volunteering) the first DBS check hasn't
come through yet.
