Adult First Checks should only be used when absolutely necessary – for example, when staffing levels are in danger of falling below statutory obligations.
Organisations should apply for the check at the same time as applying for the prospective employee’s DBS Check.
It’s important to remember that an Adult First Check is not a substitute for a DBS Check. Organisations should take due care when making recruitment decisions before receiving a full DBS certificate.
