Why do you need Screening and DBS Checks?

Why do you need Screening and DBS Checks?

Hi, we are applying for ISO: 27001 certification and it's a mandatory requirement...

Tell the employee to do it through the government site and reimburse the cost of doing it.

Hi Alan, yes we have been doing that for a handful of staff but we now need to do all staff, which is 40+ people so wondered if there was an easier way to manage it?

There probably is, but would assume you will need to sign-up to something which will be additional costs etc.

Hi, we are specialist commercial auctioneers

Do you therefore need to also do credit checks (often needed in areas where there is an opportunity for backhanders etc)

Hi, I think we'll have to clarify exactly what is needed, especially in light of Bob's comment above

Plus, what happens if you discover that your Finance Director is Frank Abagnale, during implementation?

There are 4 Levels of DBS Checks

There are also checks above DBS level such as "Police Certificate for Visa and Immigration Purposes" and other police certificates. These include serious driving offenses and police cautions. Beyond that, come all the various levels of security vetting, all the way up to what used to be called Positive Vetting which means you can look at (and sign for) docs labeled (AKA 'strapped') 'Top Secret' top and bottom.

Much as this has become a triumph of bureaucracy over common sense!
