Question: is dbs the same as bpss?
Answer: So The short answer is that a DBS is not the same as a BPSS. A BPSS may include a DBS as it can form a part of the verification procedure. When you apply for a job it is possible you may be asked to complete either a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) or a Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) check.
