Basic DBS Check

Last updated:

A Basic Check can be used for any position or purpose. A Basic Check shows any ‘unspent’ criminal convictions in the UK that an applicant may have which must be declared. A Basic Check may be required for those working in posts where there is access to sensitive information or who have access to a PSN network.

A Basic Check will contain details of convictions and conditional cautions considered to be unspent under the terms of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
