Further Information
Who can access this level of check?
Enhanced DBS Checks can only be accessed when supported by legislation. Eligibility is determined by the role of the individual and the specific criteria outlined in DBS regulations. Simply having contact with children or vulnerable adults does not automatically qualify a role for this level of disclosure.
Working with Children
Enhanced checks may be requested for roles involving frequent unsupervised access to children or regular work in education environments. This may also include checks against the Children’s Barred List.
Working with Vulnerable Adults
For roles where individuals provide care, support, supervision, or advice to vulnerable adults, enhanced checks may include the Adults’ Barred List. Examples of eligible roles include medical treatment, transport in specific circumstances, or teaching.
CBS ensures that only those legally entitled to request an Enhanced DBS Check can do so, safeguarding both applicants and employers while adhering to UK legislation.
