You may need basic, standard, or enhanced DBS - depending on the level of assurance your employer needs. To see if you are suitable for a certain job. This might include jobs like accountants, legal assistants, those working with children or vulnerable adults.
An Enhanced Disclosure check details all criminal history: cautions, warnings, reprimands, spent and unspent convictions held on the Police National Computer (PNC), with the exception of the DBS filtering rule.
