A guide to DBS checks

Since late 2022, the government has launched Digital DBS checks. Previously, the identity verification process was only possible through physical documents provided by applicants. However, updated DBS guidance now allows employers to use digital ID verification technology provided by a certified IDSP.

As a certified IDSP for the Digital DBS and Digital Right to Work schemes, we have created this guide to DBS checks along with an FAQ document, outlining 6 key questions for employers to consider.

Key takeaways:

  • The importance of verifying identity for DBS checks
  • How digital DBS checks work
  • The benefits of using digital identity validation for DBS checks
  • Answers to frequently asked questions about DBS checks
