When we have received your application we can decide whether we think you will be suitable, we then invite you to attend an interview.We apply for your references and an enhanced CRB and POVA check. Once these are back satisfactorily and have checked your eligibility to work in the UK we are able to offer you employment..
DBS implemented the disclosure service to provide criminal record checks for all individuals who come into contact with children, the elderly and other vulnerable people through their work. This service extends the availability of police record checks to all organisations, which previously could only be accessed by certain public sector organisations. POVA (Protection of Vulnerable Adults) scheme is a register of professionals who have harmed vulnerable adults in their care.
