Standard DBS Check

Last updated:

A Standard Check shows details of all cautions, warnings, reprimands held on the Police National Computer, as well as all spent and unspent convictions held on an individual’s criminal record.

This level of check will also reveal if the candidate appears on any government department lists of people who are deemed unsuitable to work with children.

Roles requiring standard or enhanced DBS checks are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 which means that all criminal information is provided about an applicant, even if it would otherwise be ‘spent’.

A standard check is available for duties, positions and licenses included in the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975, for example, court officers, employment within a prison and Security Industry Authority, solicitors and those accessing sensitive information.
