What is an

What is a Standard DBS Check?

Also referred to as Standard Disclosure Checks or Barring Service Checks, this is a mid-level security check. As with a Basic DBS Check, this is a criminal background check that indicates whether an individual has any spent convictions, cautions, warnings or reprimands against their name. However, it also highlights unspent convictions too.

Who is eligible for a Standard DBS Check?

A Standard DBS Check is not a requirement for all people, professions or jobs. A person will be eligible if the role they are applying for is listed in the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975.

Some of the industries where an individual may be required to apply for a Standard Check include:

  • Education
  • Cleaning
  • Security
  • Medical
  • Sport
  • Recruitment
  • Care
  • Legal
  • Finance

Standard DBS Checks cannot be requested by individuals, only employers acting on a potential or current employee’s behalf can submit the application.

What is the difference between a Basic, Standard and Enhanced DBS Check?

A Basic DBS Check can be obtained by anyone and only highlights spent convictions, cautions reprimands and warnings. A Standard DBS Check highlights these issues as well as unspent convictions. It cannot be obtained individually, but rather through an employer or organisation. An Enhanced DBS Check is the highest criminal background check. It will show all the information seen on a Standard DBS Check, however, an employer can also request to see whether an individual is listed on the Children’s Barred List or Adult First List.

What is a regulated activity?

Regulated activities refer to certain roles that involve working with vulnerable adults or children. These are activities that individuals named on the Barred List cannot do.
