Update to DBS guide to eligibility

Unsure of whether a DBS check is required for a role you are recruiting to? The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) has updated the 'DBS guide to eligibility'.

The guidance helps you establish whether the law allows a criminal record check through DBS for a role you are recruiting for (or already have) in your organisation. It states the following: "Please take time to read it because the amendments we've included reflect changes in the legislation that enable eligibility for a DBS Certificate. Don't forget to update hard copies of the guidance that may be in use in your organisation. It's important to note that this isn't a list of all eligibility criteria or all roles, but it does give you the most commonly submitted duties and roles that we receive applications for."
