The Disclosure and Barring Service helps employers make safer recruitment decisions each year by processing and issuing DBS checks for England, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. DBS also maintains the adults’ and children’s Barred Lists and makes considered decisions as to whether an individual should be included on one or both of these lists and barred from engaging in regulated activity.

Our services can include:

• Standard DBS Check: Contains details of all spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warnings (except for protected convictions and cautions) held on central police records.
• Enhanced DBS Check: Will contain the same as the standard check plus any other information held on local police records that is reasonably considered relevant to the job in question.
• Enhanced DBS with List Check: Contains the same as an Enhanced DBS check, but it will also include a check of the DBS children and adults barred lists – a list of individuals who are barred from working with children or vulnerable adults. This level of check will only be required for certain job roles.
