Before you start
Your organisation should:
- (For Standard/Enhanced checks) provide you with a self-declaration form to complete, sign, and return. In some organisations, this may be called something slightly different, such as a confidential declaration.
- be able to provide a hard copy or a link to access its Equal Opportunities Policy and Handling of DBS Information Policy upon request..
To complete the application form you'll need:
- Your driving licence, passport and National Insurance number
- Your address history for the last 5 years
Any errors on the application will cause delays so if you have any questions please check with the Recruiter before you submit.
It is against the law for an organisation to submit a Standard, Enhanced, or Enhanced with Barred List(s) DBS Check, if the role you have applied for is not eligible for that type of check. If you have been asked to apply for one of these but believe the level of check is wrong, please click here for more information.
