What actually shows up on a DBS certificate?

It's one of the questions we're asked most often.

The answer depends on the level of DBS check you've requested. A Basic, Standard and Enhanced DBS check all reveal different information, and understanding those differences is key to making informed recruitment decisions.

In our latest blog, we cover:

✔ What a DBS certificate is
✔ What information each level of check reveals
✔ How DBS filtering works
✔ Common questions employers ask about DBS certificates

The way employers carry out Right to Work checks is changing.

From 1 October 2026, proposed updates to the Right to Work scheme could expand employer responsibilities to include workers, individual subcontractors, and those engaged through online matching services.

To help you understand what's changing, we've teamed up with our sister company, TrustID, to break down the key updates and what they could mean for your organisation.

If you're reviewing your recruitment or onboarding processes ahead of October, now is the time to start preparing.

Have you seen the changes to Enhanced DBS checks for self-employed professionals?

Since January 2026, eligible self-employed workers and personal employees can apply for their own Enhanced DBS checks through a registered Umbrella Body like uCheck.

This updated route is designed for people who work directly with families or private clients but aren't employed by an organisation, including:

🟡 Private tutors
🟡 Nannies and personal carers
🟡 Personal assistants and support workers paid through direct payments or personal health budgets

With uCheck, you can complete the process digitally, including secure online identity verification, making it quicker and easier to apply.

Not sure whether your role is eligible? Get in touch with our team, we'll be happy to guide you through the process.

"How are uCheck's turnaround times often faster than the national average?"

Did you know employers can face fines of up to £60,000 for employing someone who doesn't have the legal Right to Work in the UK?

That's why Right to Work checks are such an important part of the recruitment process.

For eligible applicants, Digital Right to Work checks make the process even simpler.

🟡 Complete checks remotely
🟡 Verify identity using biometric technology
🟡 Reduce manual admin
🟡 Get results in minutes

It's a quicker, more streamlined way to meet your legal obligations while creating a better experience for both employers and candidates.
