The Various DBS Sectors we Specialise in
eSafeguarding offers DBS checks for a range of sectors, providing a service that ensures your checks are processed with speed, safety and security.
DBS Checks: Foster a Safe Working Environment for Everyone
A Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is an essential measure used to evaluate an individual’s criminal history, enabling organisations to make well-informed decisions regarding their suitability for specific roles—particularly those involving vulnerable groups such as children or adults at risk. DBS checks are a key component in safeguarding the welfare and safety of these individuals, while also helping to uphold the integrity of the organisation.
DBS checks are vital because they provide detailed information about a person’s criminal record, including both spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands, and warnings. This insight allows employers, volunteer organisations, and licensing authorities to assess any potential risks associated with recruiting or engaging that individual.
The Sectors we Provide DBS Checks for
