DBS Policy
A Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, formerly known as a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check in the UK, is a process used to check the criminal records of individuals. It forms a key part of your safeguarding and risk prevention.
The need for a DBS Policy & Check depends on the nature of the work and the level of contact an individual has with vulnerable groups, such as children or adults at risk.
The types of businesses that usually require DBS checks are as follows:
- Education Sector - Teachers, school staff, and volunteers working with children often require DBS checks.
- Health and Social Care - Individuals working in healthcare, social work, or with vulnerable adults may need a DBS check.
- Childcare Services - Nursery workers, childminders, and those working in childcare settings may be required to undergo a DBS check.
- Charities and Voluntary Organisations - Many charities and voluntary organisations that work with vulnerable populations may request DBS checks for their staff and volunteers.
- Care Homes and Hospitals - Staff working in care homes, hospitals, and other healthcare settings may need DBS clearance due to their contact with vulnerable individuals.
- Financial Services - Some roles in the financial sector, especially those dealing with sensitive financial information, may require DBS checks.
- Security Services - Individuals working in security services, especially those providing services to sensitive locations, may undergo DBS checks.
- Government Positions - Certain government positions, especially those involving national security or sensitive information, may require DBS clearance.
- Transportation Services - Some roles in transportation, such as taxi drivers or school bus drivers, may require DBS checks due to their contact with passengers, especially children.
