This includes how you can find out what level of DBS you may need and has a link to apply for a basic check for yourself. To get a check see here https://www.gov.uk/request-copy-criminal-record
You can use other services, such as https://crbdirect.org.uk/ which is an independent service not affiliated to the Government, or if you are an employer, you may be able to register with a company such as: https://www.sonographersmedical.com/dbs-crb-checks/
For both standard and enhanced checks from 28th November 2020 a change was made such that childhood cautions are no longer disclosed, and a rule that meant someone with more than one conviction had all their convictions disclosed, regardless of offence or length of time, has been abolished.
