About Enhanced DBS checked IT Technicians
To ensure the utmost protection for our clients during site visits, all of our IT technicians undergo Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, including online checks. 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. Our commitment to rigorous vetting processes, in accordance with the UK government guidelines and the DBS application form, offers our clients peace of mind.
