What is a DBS Check?
A Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is a background screening process that helps employers make safer recruitment decisions by revealing any criminal records or other information that may deem an individual unsuitable for certain roles. DBS checks are essential for positions involving work with vulnerable groups, such as children or the elderly.
