There will often be times when background checks need to be refreshed. The following is an overview of how DBS Checks work and the steps a company can take to ensure that background screening is kept up to date.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How Do DBS Checks Work?<\/h2>\n<p>DBS Checks are available in three iterations. A Basic DBS Check can be carried out by individuals and businesses, whereas companies and organisations can only request Standard and Enhanced DBS Checks.<\/p>\n<p>Basic DBS Checks are often enough for many day-to-day roles, but those working as managers, advisors or with children will require a more in-depth background check.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Why Is a Business Responsible for Keeping Track of DBS Checks?<\/h2>\n<p>Although individuals can carry out their own Basic DBS Check, Standard and Enhanced Disclosures can only be requested by a business or organisation. As companies need to order these certificates, it becomes their responsibility to ensure correct records are maintained.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How Often Should DBS Checks Be Carried Out?<\/h2>\n<p>Generally, many companies aim to carry out a DBS Check at least every two years, but there will be instances when this is more frequent. To establish how often a DBS Check is required, it is essential to focus on what the business offers and what is required of an employee when carrying out a role.<\/p>\n<p>For example, businesses that provide services for the elderly or children will often require a regular DBS Check to give customers or clients peace of mind and meet industry regulations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What Information is Needed for A DBS Check?<\/h2>\n<p>For an efficient background check to be carried out, people will need to supply photographic identification and a proof of address. Photographic identification includes passports and driving licenses, whereas proof of address needs to be a utility bill, bank statement or other official letter.<\/p>\n<p>If a driving licence has not been used for proof of identification, then this can be used as proof of address.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What Is the Best Way of Managing DBS Checks?<\/h2>\n<p>Although a business may know how often a DBS Check needs to be carried out, requesting them via conventional methods could be time-consuming, affecting the hiring process.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there are options available that allow businesses and organisations to stay on top of their background checks easily.<\/p>\n<p>Using the following steps ensures a business can easily manage all its disclosure certificates and ensure there are no delays when processing a DBS Check. In addition to proving businesses with digital disclosure results in as soon as one hour, companies can also be confident of receiving physical certificates within 14 working days.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of whether a company needs to carry out a DBS Check or a new employee or carry out update disclosures, outsourcing the pressing to a professional agency ensures employees records are correctly maintained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although a DBS Check is often needed before a person is offered a role, this isn\u2019t the only time a DBS Check is carried out.
