What is a criminal record check?
A criminal record Check also known as a DBS check provides employers with official information about a candidate’s criminal record to help assess their suitability for a role.
By verifying applicants against official criminal record databases, organisations can make informed hiring decisions, protect their workforce and clients, and maintain full compliance with industry and safeguarding standards.
Many sectors, particularly regulated industries such as education, healthcare, finance and childcare, require DBS checks to ensure employees are properly vetted before starting work. These checks are essential for roles that involve working with vulnerable people or accessing sensitive data and environments.
Types of criminal record check
- Basic DBS check - spent convictions & conditional cautions
- Standard DBS check - includes unspent, cautions, reprimands & warnings
- Enhanced DBS check - includes relevant police reports
- Enhanced + barred list - all above plus barred list inclusion
