Who do DBS checks protect?
DBS checks protect the most vulnerable from harm, such as children and adults at risk. These checks reveal any serious offences that an individual may have committed. Depending on the level of the check, it may include details of both unspent and spent convictions
Thorough background checks help organisations, such as schools and healthcare settings, to hire suitable and safe individuals for sensitive roles. This not only applies to direct care roles but also to indirect ones, such as third-party contractors in schools and volunteers in youth clubs. The goal is to create a safe and inclusive environment by thoroughly vetting everyone who works closely with vulnerable groups
The role of the DBS & your responsibilities
The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) play a crucial role in safeguarding. They conduct checks and maintain a database of individuals barred from working with vulnerable groups. If someone is removed from a regulated role because they've harmed someone in their care, employers must report it to the DBS by law. This ensures that the barred list is up-to-date and effectively protects vulnerable people
It's illegal for someone to apply for a position that involves contact with a group they're barred from. Similarly, it’s a serious offence for employers to hire someone if they know they’re on the barred list. Employers are responsible for making these checks and ensuring compliance with the law. They should also actively prevent potential harm to those in their care
