How do I handle sensitive information during the DBS check process?

Handling sensitive information during the DBS check process requires careful attention to data protection and privacy regulations. Ensure that any personal information collected is stored securely and accessed only by authorised personnel. When sharing information with the DBS or other parties, use secure methods of communication. It’s also important to inform applicants about how their data will be used and stored, and to obtain their consent before processing their DBS check.
