DBS Checks for Employers: Getting Your Results
Once the DBS has completed the check and sent the certificate for posting, you are able to download a PDF summary.
If the summary states that you need to see the certificate, you must wait to see the official certificate before the applicant can legally start working. This will be posted to the applicant’s current address given on their application.
