The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) provides DBS Checks to enable employers to check prospective employees’ criminal history.
DBS Checks are designed to help employers make safe recruitment decisions and prevent people from doing work they are unsuitable for.
What are the different levels of DBS Check?
There are three levels of check: Basic, Standard and Enhanced. The three levels have different eligibility requirements and reveal different information about the applicant.
We work with several umbrella bodies and will apply for the DBS on your behalf.
