A suitable route for the role
The right route.
For the right role.
DBS application support depends on the role, purpose and applicable eligibility requirements. IQVS DBS applications are not open yet.
Eligibility comes first
A specific check.
For a specific purpose.
Basic, Standard and Enhanced checks are different routes. Standard and Enhanced checks require an eligible role; they are not general upgrades. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own checking routes.
What determines the route
- The role and duties
- The applicant or employer’s purpose
- Where the work will take place
- The employer or recipient’s required check
Before applications can open
Provider, identity
and eligibility controls.
IQVS application support requires an appropriate registered provider. Provider arrangements, identity-check responsibilities, supported checks, charges and the application route must be confirmed before applications open.
Do not submit identity documents or criminal-record information for DBS at this stage. This information page does not start an application or reserve a check.
