DBS checks
Wiltshire Council provides DBS checks for staff through a secure online system. This includes checks for roles involving children or vulnerable adults. Self-employed individuals can also apply for a DBS check directly.
Wiltshire Council is an umbrella organisation, meaning it can perform DBS checks for other organisations or self-employed individuals who work with vulnerable people. We ensure thorough checks using police and government records.
Organisations can access our secure online DBS checking system. Our team will review and submit the application, and the applicant will receive their DBS certificate.
For more details about DBS checks, please visit the disclosure and barring service (opens new window) website or on www.gov.uk (opens new window).
