A DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check is a background check used in the UK to help employers make safer recruitment decisions.
“There are different levels of DBS checks, including basic, standard, and enhanced checks, depending on the nature of the job.”
It involves checking an individual’s criminal record and whether they are barred from working with vulnerable groups, such as children or vulnerable adults. The DBS check helps ensure that people working in certain roles, especially in sectors like healthcare, education, and social services, have no history that would make them unsuitable for these positions.
