The Enhanced check with a barring list covering the relevant children and/or adults barring list checks are required for positions such as teachers, healthcare workers, taxi drivers, and dentists*. There are two types of Enhanced DBS Check available: Enhanced with Barring List or Enhanced without Barring List. Our online Enhanced DBS Checks offer comprehensive criminal record checks in as little as 24 hours.
Only roles that are included in Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 are eligible for this type of disclosure, as are those that spend more than one day a week, or 3 days in 30 days, in either a registered care home, high-security psychiatric hospital, or a school or nursery. Enhanced DBS Checks (also known as Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) Checks, and previously known as Enhanced CRB Checks) are the highest level of DBS Check available and are generally required for positions that involve working with vulnerable groups, such as children or vulnerable adults and the elderly.
