If the candidate will be working in certain types of roles (such as with children or vulnerable adults), it’s against the law for an employer to hire someone who is barred from working with these groups. As an employer hiring individuals within regulated activities involving adults, the DBS Adult First Service may allow the applicant to start work sooner under supervision. The results of this check may indicate whether they can begin work under supervision, or whether the employer should wait for the full results of the Enhanced DBS check.
