What are the common misconceptions about DBS checks?

Common misconceptions about DBS checks include the belief that a DBS check is a guarantee of safety or that it is a one-time process. In reality, a DBS check only reflects an individual’s criminal history at the time of the check and does not provide ongoing monitoring. Additionally, some people may think that all convictions will automatically disqualify them from employment, but many employers consider the context and relevance of the information. Educating yourself about the true nature of DBS checks can help dispel these myths.
