What DBS Check Can Self-Employed Individuals Apply For?

Self‑employed and personal employees can apply for an Enhanced DBS Check only.

This level of check is required where work involves regular, unsupervised contact with children or vulnerable adults. Volunteer DBS checks are not available for self‑employed roles.
