What are DBS Checks?

There are 3 different types of DBS checks – Basic, Standard and Enhanced. Basic disclosures can be applied for by an employer on behalf of an employee for any job, whilst Standard and Enhanced DBS checks are carried out by employers on their employees and, in some cases, volunteers.

The DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) was formerly known as the CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) which merged with the ISA (Independent Safeguarding Authority) in 2012. DBS checks allow employers to make informed and safer recruitment decisions. Carrying out DBS checks online is a faster and more efficient way for organisations to meet safeguarding requirements.
