Introduction
As an employer or Registered Body (RB), you may request a DBS check as part of your recruitment process. If you’re an Umbrella Body (UB), you may be requesting a DBS check on behalf of another organisation.
For certain applications, the DBS check may also include a check of the Adults’ or Children’s Barred Lists alongside any information held by local police forces that is considered relevant to the workforce within which the applied-for role sits i.e. adults’ workforce, children’s workforce or other workforce.
