Talk:Disclosure and Barring Service

Huntley criticisms

As far as I can tell the criticisms of criminal record checking in 2003 were not directed towards the Criminal Records Bureau [1]. Ian Huntley's employment as a school caretaker was in 2001 [2], before the CRB was launched. January (talk) 16:55, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Disclosure and Barring Service. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/20140201173126/https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/143695/employer-and-volunteers-guide.pdf to https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/143695/employer-and-volunteers-guide.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Unclear

• What constitutes a "regulated activity"? I assume the sales of alcoholic beverages is regulated by law and requires a licence; is this a regulated activity?
• What are "exempted questions"? Exempted from what? Paying taxes? Military service?
• Who or what determines whether an organisation is entitled to ask such questions?
• What is an Umbrella Body and what does it do, other than (hopefully) accepting registrations and countersigning applications?

I can make some guesses, but these guesses can easily be off. The article ought to be more clear.  --Lambiam 16:50, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

I don't think it's the job of Wikipedia to define the rules relating to DBS checks. Information on this topic should only be taken from the DBS itself. 51.194.85.80 (talk) 17:56, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
