I imagine it does. I can't imagine that the DBS check happens instantly - weeks perhaps? - and they may need staff now. Presumably they are taken on under condition of it coming back clear, which is fair enough I think as long as the employee understands that (which surely they would if they knew they were being checked in the first place!).

I guess they could re-name it and call it a trial work period.
80% of ours come back within two weeks, some come back in days and some the same day. We've processed the check in the morning and by the evening it's returned. But yes there are the percentage which take their time to come back.


That must be somewhere with limited risk. You wouldn't get that in my sector as vulnerable people are invovled (though for my last job I ended up without a DBS check at all as I was on a dual contract and neither party could agree who was responsible).

Indeed, and if does happen, then they mustn't have lone access to vulnerable individuals.
