Basic
DBS Checks
This level of check is suitable for individuals and employers.
A DBS Check checks a person’s criminal history, convictions and cautions from the Police National Computer (PNC).
Individuals might want to check if their criminal record is clear, or what shows on it, or need a DBS check for a visa or licence.
Employers from all types of industries such as construction or hospitality, can ask for a basic disclosure to check a candidates criminal record to help them decide if a candidate is suitable for employment.
This level of check is only suitable if you WILL NOT be working with children or vulnerable adults
Standard
DBS Checks
This level is only available to employers.
Employers have to obtain standard level DBS checks on behalf of their employees.
For this level of check, an applicant’s criminal history is checked for cautions, warnings, reprimands and convictions received in England and Wales including convictions received in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
A Standard DBS check is required for certain roles, for example, lawyers, accountants, security officers, FCA regulated roles and other positions of high responsibility.
This check will ensure that employees or candidates have no prior offences such as fraud or financial misconduct.
Enhanced
DBS Checks
This level is only available to employers.
This level has all of the information contained in the Standard DBS Check.
In addition, an Enhanced DBS Check also searches the DBS Children’s Barred List and / or the Vulnerable Adults list if the job role requires it. This ensures that a candidate is not barred from working with vulnerable groups.
Enhanced DBS checks are needed to protect vulnerable groups by ensuring that employees who have frequent and unsupervised contact will have a clear record, such as those in education and health care.
Job roles including school or NHS maintenance will also require this level of DBS check.
The DBS Process
The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) helps employers make safer recruitment decisions and prevent unsuitable people from working with vulnerable groups, including children. Therefore it replaces the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA)
DBS checks are required by individuals, or by employers for many job roles, and the type of check your employee will need will depend specifically on the role they are applying for

If you need a Standard or Enhanced Level DBS check, it would usually be your employer applying for it on your behalf. However, not everyone has an employer.
If you are self-employed, you can ask a fellow contractor, an employee, or someone you are collaborating with on a project, to verify your identity documents.
Please note that they will receive a copy of all email correspondence we have with you, as well as your result, but only you will receive the certificate itself
