What is a DBS Check?
DBS Checks are the criminal record checks obtained from the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS). The DBS helps employers in England, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man assess an individual’s suitability for roles and helps them make safer recruitment decisions.
What does a Basic DBS Check show?
This check contains details of convictions and cautions from the Police National Computer (PNC), “…that are considered to be unspent under the terms of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974.”
Why do I need a Basic DBS Check?
Criminal record checks are a legal requirement in certain industries, including aviation, security, engineering, public sector, health and social care.
The aim is to provide employers peace of mind that you have no unspent convictions that could affect your ability to perform the role.
In addition, it also protects employers from legal, reputational, and/or financial damage that could occur from a bad hiring decision.
How much does a Basic DBS Check cost?
£18 through Employment Check App (+ fees). Its quick and easy to use alongside other checks including right to work, credit checks, and international sanctions.
