Frequently Asked Questions:

What is a DBS check?

A DBS check is a way for employers to check if someone has a criminal record. It helps them decide if a person is suitable for jobs, especially those working with children or adults at risk. The check shows if someone has any past convictions or warnings.

Different types of checks are done depending on the job. It is important for making sure that people in trusted roles have the right background to keep vulnerable individuals safe.

Only employers who are allowed by law can ask for a DBS check.

What are the types of DBS checks?

There are four main types of DBS checks in the UK:

  1. Basic DBS Check: This check shows an individual’s unspent convictions and cautions. It is available to anyone and can be used for any job.
  2. Standard DBS Check: This check includes both spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands, and warnings. It is needed for some roles, especially for jobs involving vulnerable adults or financial work.
  3. Enhanced DBS Check: This check includes all the details from the standard check plus extra information from local police. It is needed for jobs where people are in close contact with vulnerable groups, including children.
  4. Enhanced DBS Check with Barred Lists Check: This check is the same as an enhanced check but also checks against the DBS Barred Lists. These lists contain names of people banned from working with vulnerable groups.

The type of check needed depends on the job and the level of contact with vulnerable people.

How long does a DBS certificate take?

The time it takes to get a DBS certificate depends on the type of check:

  • Basic DBS Check: Usually takes 2 to 4 weeks, but sometimes it can take longer.
  • Standard DBS Check: This check usually takes 8 to 10 weeks.
  • Enhanced DBS Check: It also takes around 8 to 10 weeks.

These times can change depending on how many checks are being processed or if more information is needed. Some checks can be done faster for an extra fee.

Why should you take DBS training?

DBS training helps you understand how to use DBS checks properly to keep people safe. Here are some reasons to take DBS training:

  • Learn how the DBS checking process works.
  • Understand what the information on a DBS certificate means.
  • Make sure you follow the law when doing DBS checks.

Can a DBS be completed online?

Yes, you can apply for a DBS check online. If you’re an individual, you can apply for a basic DBS check directly online. If you’re working for an organisation, they will usually help you apply for standard or enhanced checks online.

Some organisations use an online system called eBulkPlus to process checks. You can also pay for the check and track its progress online.

What is the quickest way to get a DBS certificate?

The quickest way to get a DBS certificate is to use the DBS Update Service. This allows you to reuse your old DBS check when you start a new job, which saves time.

If you don’t use the Update Service, applying online for a basic DBS check or using the eBulkPlus system with your organisation can speed up the process. But it’s important to fill in the details correctly to avoid any delays.
