Who may apply

The current legislation does not allow the self-employed or individuals to apply for a DBS check on themselves. In addition, parents who employ a nanny/au pair/babysitter directly cannot apply for a DBS check; however, if an agency supplies the nanny/au pair/babysitter, the agency is entitled to carry out a DBS check.

We can only act for you if you are based in the UK. If you 'employ' a paid employee or a volunteer in an organisation and their work will bring them into contact with children or vulnerable adults, then they may be asked to apply for a DBS check. For example, if they are to work as a teacher, care worker, scout & guide leader, registered childminder, sports coach, youth club worker, foster carer or adoptive parent.

A DBS check and Registration may also be required for a range of other types of job or licences. If the job falls within the category codes in this list then you are entitled to register with us and carry out DBS disclosures.
