DBS Checks – Further Information

Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is the name for what was previously known as the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB).

A criminal record check relates to the data held about a person’s criminal history. The information included in a criminal record may vary between countries, and even between jurisdictions within the same country.

Carrying out a criminal record check helps us prevent unsuitable people from entering the workforce and accessing adults, young people and children who are considered vulnerable because they are receiving health or care services.
