Cover all your bases with a BPSS check
A Baseline Personnel Security Standard, or BPSS check as it is commonly called, is a great start for any screening journey.

Who needs a DBS Check?
In general, your client organisation should be able to confirm the level of check that they require. If they are not sure then we can help them with many of a sector specific guidance available on our website.
DBS checks roughly fall into two types. Basic checks that anyone can request and regulated roles that require a specific type of work to be carried out, and other legislative requirements for standard or enhanced levels. If you are working with third-parties such as healthcare providers or education establishments they will usually guide you on the level required, and it is commonly stipulated in your contract. If you’re not sure then we can help you to decide as part of the on-boarding process. We have some additional sector specific resources available here.
If you would like to discuss your requirements then you can contact one of the team on 0116 260 3055.
