What are DBS checks?

The disclosure and Barring service (DBS) provides DBS checks to enable employers to check prospective employee’s criminal history.

DBS checks are designed to help employers make safe recruitment decisions and prevent people from doing work they are unsuitable for.

There are three levels of check, basic, standard, and enhanced. The three levels have different eligibility requirements and reveal different information about the applicant.

  • Basic- A basic DBS check or Basic Disclosure will show any unspent convictions or conditional cautions the applicant has.
  • Standard – A Standard check will show any spent or unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands, or warnings the applicant has.
  • Enhanced- An Enhanced Check will show any spent or unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands, or warnings the applicant has, as well as any other relevant information held by the applicant’s local police.

Once a check is complete, the DBS produce a certificate which confirms the criminal history of that applicant (if any). This allows employers to make recruitment decisions that both safeguard their organisation and the public.
