What Is a Basic DBS Check?
A Basic DBS Check reveals an individual’s unspent convictions and conditional cautions.
It’s ideal for roles where a general background check strengthens safeguarding, governance, or trust, including:
- Customer-facing positions
- Roles involving financial responsibility
- Office or administrative roles
- Contractors and temporary staff
- Volunteers
- Any staff where you want additional reassurance
Basic checks are suitable for almost any role, making them one of the most commonly used background screening tools for employers.
