What is a DBS Check?

A DBS check - also known as a criminal record check, CRB check, or police check UK - is a background screening service that shows whether someone has a criminal history. In 2012, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) officially replaced the old Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) system to create a faster, unified process.
There are three main levels of check: Basic, Standard, and Enhanced, each revealing different information depending on the job role or purpose. With Clear Check, you can get a DBS check online quickly and securely through our government‑approved DBS service.
