Enhanced DBS Online Checks
The most detailed criminal record check for roles with children or vulnerable adults. Most checks complete the same day after a complete application. Employers: talk to us. Job applicants unsure what they need: start FREE online.
What does an Enhanced DBS check include?
An Enhanced DBS check contains everything in a Standard check: spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings, plus any information held by local police forces that is considered relevant to the role.
For roles in regulated activity, the check can also include the children's and adults' barred lists, confirming whether an applicant is barred from working with those groups.
Who needs one?
Enhanced checks are legally required or expected for roles such as:
- Teachers, teaching assistants and school staff
- Doctors, nurses and healthcare workers
- Social workers and care home staff
- Childminders, nursery workers and foster carers
- Sports coaches and youth group volunteers
Rules apply
Enhanced DBS checks can only be requested for roles that qualify in law, normally through an employer or a registered body. Individuals cannot apply for their own Enhanced check. If you are a job applicant unsure what you need, start FREE online first.
