Standard DBS Checks Online
Standard (Disclosure and Barring Service) DBS Checks are the second or mid-level of DBS Check available. They are generally required for positions that involve working in financial services, prisons, security, government buildings and healthcare establishments where incidental contact with vulnerable groups may occur.
This level of check is only available for roles that are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975. In England and Wales, this check can only be applied for by a company or third-party organisation, not an individual.
There is only one type of Standard DBS check, as it does not cover the children’s or adults barred lists checks (for this, you will need an Enhanced DBS Check). A standard level DBS will check applicants for spent reprimands, warnings, cautions and criminal convictions, as well as unspent older convictions. Some may become filtered if they are deemed not to be relevant to the position the applicant is applying for.

Standard DBS Check FAQs
As a business owner, it is only natural that you would want to protect your business from any safeguarding issues or potential threats. While many employers focus on protecting against external threats like burglary, it’s equally important to look at the risks within, such as your own staff.
Neglecting these internal threats can harm your business, especially if an employee gains access to sensitive data. A Standard Disclosure Check can provide the peace of mind you need to ensure your company’s security.
A DBS certificate (which shows the results of the check) is used by employers during the interview or hiring process.
A standard check is like a ‘second-tier DBS check” as it indicates all the same information as a basic level check, as well as any unspent and spent convictions as well as cautions, reprimands and final warnings an applicant may have.
However, unlike a basic check, only the potential employer or a third-party organisation can apply for a standard check.
This depends on the job or role you are applying for or currently working in. A Basic DBS check covers all roles and can be applied for by the individual. When a job or role requires a standard or enhanced DBS check, it must be applied for by the employer or organisation.
- Peace of mind for the business owner
- Reduces the risk of internal fraud
- Stock protection
- Reduces employee theft
- Improves safety within the workplace
- Ensures recruitment process is efficient and productive
A Standard DBS Disclosure includes the findings of a Basic DBS, but a standard level DBS will also check applicants for reprimands, warning, cautions and criminal convictions which are spent or unspent older convictions. Some may become filtered if they are deemed not to be relevant to to the position the applicant is applying for.
When you choose Care Check to undertake basic DBS checks for your employees, the application process is very straightforward. Once applied for, 62% of all Standard DBS Checks that go through us are completed within just 24 hours. 85% of all checks are completed within just 5 days.
In order to be eligible for an Standard DBS check the applicant must be falling in to a role listed within the DBS eligibility for that level of check.
To see a full list of eligible roles for the Standard level DBS Check please click on the here.
Because of the more sensitive nature of job roles that require a standard DBS check, an individual can’t apply for it themselves.
Unlike basic DBS checks, individuals cannot apply for a standard DBS check – the employer or the organisation must complete the application.
Yes, anyone can get a standard DBS check, but the individual cannot apply for it – it has to be requested via the organisation or employer.

As with all other DBS checks, standard DBS checks look back as long as the police have records on the individual – so this, by and large, usually covers a person’s entire life.
No level of DBS check has an official expiry date – including the standard DBS check.
That said, it’s recommended that a DBS check be updated/repeated every three years.
