Criminal record checks
Basic (DBS)
The Basic check requires no specific eligibility and will reveal any convictions, cautions or reprimands that have not been filtered and are considered unspent.
Standard (DBS)
A Standard check is mandatory for individuals in high-responsibility roles, such as lawyers, accountants, or those with access to sensitive medical information. This check is crucial for mitigating risks to your organisation, employees, and customers.
Enhanced (DBS)
An Enhanced check is the highest level available and may include a Child and/or Adult Barred List check. It's required for roles listed in the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975, especially those involving direct care or guidance of children or vulnerable adults.
