Criminal Records Check –Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) All posts in schools are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974; this means that all convictions must be declared, including those that would generally be regarded as ‘spent’. A disclosure from the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) will be sought as part of the school’s pre-employment checks. The DBS will provide a report to you and the Local Authority on whether you have any criminal convictions, including cautions and bind-overs.
