Do DBS Checks show cautions?

Modified on Tue, 23 Jan, 2024 at 11:51 AM

The government provides a list of offences that will always be disclosed on a Standard or Enhanced DBS certificate (unless they relate to a youth caution). 

These are known as ‘specified offences’ and are usually of a serious violent or sexual nature, or are relevant for safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.

All convictions resulting in a custodial sentence, whether or not suspended, will also always be disclosed.
