What are the different levels of DBS Check?

Modified on Tue, 23 Jan, 2024 at 10:00 AM

There are three levels of check: Basic, Standard and Enhanced. The three levels have different eligibility requirements and reveal different information about the applicant.

  • Basic: A  Basic DBS Check or Basic Disclosure will show any unspent convictions or conditional cautions the applicant has.
  • Standard: A Standard Check will show any spent or unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands or warnings the applicant has.
  • Enhanced: An Enhanced Check will show any spent or unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands or warnings the applicant has, as well as any other relevant information held by the applicant’s local police force. Enhanced DBS checks offer employers faster checks that provide even more efficiency and accuracy.
