How do I find out if I am eligible to apply for a DBS check?

The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (Exceptions) Order 2001 lists the types of work, employment or professions for which you can legally obtain a DBS check. You can also contact the Isle of Man Vetting Bureau which will offer advice.

Alternatively, a professional body for your organisations sector will be able to provide advice to assess whether a Standard or Enhanced Disclosure is required for a specific role, bearing in mind their other statutory and legal obligations.
