WORKING WITH US

These are carried out by the DISCLOSURE & BARRING SERVICE (DBS) of which Invicta 24 Plus is DBS Registered Body. A DBS check is an official record stating a person’s criminal history.

DBS checks help us to ensure that we make the right decisions during the recruitment process. This is very important especially for candidates working with vulnerable groups.

DBS Certificates are portable and can be taken from role to role where the same level of type of check is required.

On 29th May 2013, legislation came into force that allows certain old and minor convictions to no longer be subject to disclosure. Certain old and minor convictions will be filtered out and no longer disclosed on a certificate.

All cautions and convictions for specified serious violent and sexual offences and other specified offences concerned with safeguarding children and vulnerable adults will remain subject to disclosure.

To be sure of how this affects you, make sure you read the DBS filtering guidance before answering question e55 on the application form – www.gov.uk/dbs
