DBS Check*

What does a DBS check actually check?
 
A Disclosure and Barring Service check (or DBS check for short) is the term used for the analysis and record of a person’s past, looking specifically at any convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings they may have received.
 
BJA coaching level 1 requires an enhanced DBS check.  
An enhanced DBS check has all the information contained in a standard DBS check. With an enhanced check, an employer [The BJA] can also request to see whether a potential or current employee [Coach or applicant] is listed on the Children’s Barred List or Adult First list.
