Employers can only check the criminal record of someone applying for certain roles, for example in healthcare or childcare.

This is known as getting a Disclosure and Barring Service ( DBS) check.

You apply in a different way if you want to check your own record.

There are different rules for getting a criminal record check in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Types of check

There are 3 types of check you can carry out as an organisation:

a standard check shows spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warnings

an enhanced check shows the same as a standard check plus any information held by local police that's considered relevant to the role

an enhanced check with barred lists shows the same as an enhanced check plus whether the applicant is on the list of people barred from doing the role

You can't carry out a basic check as an organisation - you must ask the person to request their own basic DBS check. A basic check shows unspent convictions and cautions.

If you're self-employed

You can't apply for a standard, enhanced or enhanced with barred lists check for yourself.

Instead, you can:

When to repeat a check

A DBS check has no official expiry date. Any information included will be accurate at the time the check was carried out. It's up to you to decide when a new check is needed.

If the applicant has signed up for the DBS update service you can check whether their certificate is up to date online.

Certificates for previous roles

You can accept a certificate that was requested for a previous role but you must:

check the applicant's identity matches the details on the certificate

check the certificate is the right level and type for the role applied for

check to see if anything has changed if the applicant is signed up for the update service

Checks on someone who lived abroad

DBS checks won't cover the time someone lived outside the UK.

Contact DBS if you're not sure whether you can request a check.
