What is the impact of a DBS check on employment opportunities?

A DBS check can significantly impact employment opportunities, particularly for roles that involve working with vulnerable individuals. A clear DBS check can enhance a candidate's chances of securing a job, as employers often view it as a sign of trustworthiness and reliability. Conversely, a positive DBS check that reveals convictions may raise concerns for potential employers, depending on the nature of the role and the convictions disclosed. However, many employers consider the context of the information and the applicant's overall qualifications, so it’s important to approach the situation with honesty and openness.
