DBS Checks

Hiring the right candidate is essential to protecting your business from reputational and financial risk. Conducting pre-employment checks ensures you make informed recruitment decisions while complying with industry regulations. Vistech Services provides professional, efficient, and cost-effective DBS checking services, helping businesses save time and money throughout the hiring process.

What are DBS checks?

The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) provides criminal record checks that allow employers to assess the suitability of prospective employees. These checks help safeguard businesses, staff, and the public by identifying individuals who may be unsuitable for certain roles. Many industries, including security, healthcare, and education, require DBS checks as part of their hiring process.

There are three levels of DBS checks, each providing different levels of information:

• Basic DBS Check – Reveals any unspent convictions or conditional cautions. This check is available for any role.
• Standard DBS Check – Includes both spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands, or warnings. This is usually required for roles in regulated industries.
• Enhanced DBS Check – Provides details of spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands, or warnings, as well as any relevant information held by local police. This level of check is commonly required for positions involving work with children or vulnerable adults.

Once the check is complete, the DBS issues a certificate confirming any criminal history. This allows employers to make recruitment decisions that prioritise safety and compliance.

At Vistech Services, we offer tailored screening and vetting solutions to meet your business needs. Whether you require individual DBS checks or a full pre-employment screening package, our expert team ensures a fast and reliable service.
