DBS Checks for Staff & Volunteers
Many charity roles involve vulnerable individuals or positions of trust, making DBS checks an essential part of safer recruitment.
We support:
- Enhanced DBS checks for regulated activity roles
- Standard DBS checks for positions requiring a higher level of trust
- Volunteer DBS checks for eligible unpaid positions
Enhanced checks are commonly required for these positions due to their direct work with children and families.
