DBS checks were in the news again recently, as three people went to the UK’s highest court over criminal convictions. The three said that their human rights were being breached by having to declare convictions from decades ago. Standard and enhanced DBS checks list all past convictions and cautions. The lawyers argued that is simply not fair. The court agreed, and ruled that disclosing old or minor convictions could indeed be an infringement of human rights. So how will this affect your next DBS check?
