Is this the right check for your employee?
A Standard police check can only be used for jobs covered by the legal eligibility rules, such as interpreters, solicitors, barristers, accountants and some regulated financial roles.
What does the certificate include?
It is designed for eligible positions of trust rather than everyday recruitment.
Spent and unspent convictions, cautions, warnings and reprimands, after the statutory filtering rules have been applied.
✓ Requested by an employer or eligible organisation
✓ More detail than a Basic police check
✓ Local police information and barred-list checks are not included
For eligible roles working with children or vulnerable adults
Is this the right check for your employee?
An Enhanced police check is for eligible roles that involve working with children or vulnerable adults. Eligibility depends on what the person actually does, where they work and how often they have contact, not just their job title.
What does the certificate include?
Everything in a Standard check, plus any relevant information held by local police forces.
✓ A Children’s or Adults’ Barred List check can be added when the role is eligible
✓ Barred-list checks are only included where the role allows it
✓ Eligibility is based on the employee’s duties, workplace, how often they have contact and who they work with
