DBS checks advice guide for employers from Peninsula Business Services UK. Employers call us today on 0800 0282 420.
DBS checks (Disclosure & Barring Service checks) were previously known as CRB checks (see CRB checks). They came into being in December 2012 when the CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) merged with the ISA (Independent Safeguarding Authority) to form the DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service). A DBS check is used by businesses, companies, recruitment agencies and organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors to make more informed and safer decisions when hiring people to work with children, young people and vulnerable adults. Their aim is to ensure that unsuitable people do not work with such vulnerable groups. There are three type of criminal records check – Standard, Enhanced and Enhanced with Barred List checks.
DBS checks can only be obtained by organisations, not individuals, and only by those professions, offices, employments, work and occupations listed in the Exceptions Order (1975) to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 as amended by the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. Peninsula Business Services can provide advice and assistance if you need help to ensure you are compliant when dealing with the issue of DBS checks.
