What types of DBS checks are there?

There are three main types of DBS checks: Basic, Standard, and Enhanced. A Basic DBS check reveals unspent convictions, while a Standard DBS check includes both spent and unspent convictions, as well as any relevant police information. An Enhanced DBS check provides the most comprehensive information, including details of any additional police information that may be relevant to the role being applied for. The type of check required often depends on the nature of the job and the level of contact with vulnerable individuals.
