These checks involve a comprehensive examination of an individual’s criminal history, including spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands, and any other pertinent information held by local police forces. By implementing Enhanced DBS checks, we guarantee that our technicians meet the highest standards of integrity and professionalism when dealing with sensitive and confidential information.
