The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is an executive agency of the Home Office. Its primary purpose is to help organisations to make safer recruitment decisions. By conducting checks and providing details of criminal records and other information, the DBS will help identify applicants who may be unsuitable for certain work, especially those involving children (under 18) or other vulnerable members of society (this is also referred to as ‘regulated activity’).
Please note, that we are unable to accept a DBS certificate that has been issued through another institution or employer, even if you are registered with the Update Service. Please note the University does not use the DBS update service. All applicants must complete a new DBS Check through Leeds Beckett University. Failure to complete your DBS will mean you are not permitted to enrol at the start of your course. This will also delay your student finance.
