Your husbands conviction will definitely not be on there x

Hi cher

I had my first enhanced DBS a few weeks ago, was worried about it too. Nothing was on there and my hub still lives with me.

Although it is unlikely it can happy, and all comes down to a number of things, the police force you are under and the nature of the job that you are applying for. An enhanced DBS does give the police the power to disclose police intelligence on the back of an enhanced DBS, sadly toy will not know if something is being disclosed untill the DSB turns up.

Information that can be disclosed if it deemed relevant to the nature of the job being applied for

Findings of innocenceAcquittalsCautions and convictions of those that you live withOther Police intelligence (including allegations)

If you do have a enhanced DBS that turns up and something has been disclosed, my advice would be to contact Unlock, they will go over the process of making an application to the independent monitor to make representations to have it removed.

Unfortunately my Enhanced DBS did alert the company I worked for ( I worked with children) after my family member was 'found out'......

The whole situation was intolerable. Although completely innocent and unaware of what had been going on - I decided to resign. I should think you'll be ok as your divorced and if you have no contact with your husband.

Let us know the outcome....

I can see once it came out in the media it would have been difficult for them as a business, but I often think I hope people didn't suspect ME of being involved. That still haunts me....

This is so unfair how everyone treated differently, it's being constantly punished.

I just wanted to say I work for a children's charity. I informed my manager how upset about having a DBS . They contacted HR, the manager was the one who dealt with it, so if it came back with something on they would be the only one who knew.

It came back clear. My hub ask the OIC about it and he said it wouldn't go on my DBS as it was not my crime.

I'm so sorry for those who have to fight again for something they didn't do, and to have to go for another long process to get it remove.

Take care

Yes it is so unfair..... I was too exhausted to fight it at the time. When it came to the media slaughter I wouldn't have stood a chance of keeping my job.....

One of the reasons there are different processes in different parts of the country is that it is not DBS that make the decission to disclose this information, when an enhanced DBS application is submitted when it gets to stage 3 or 4 I can't remember which, DBS send it out to the police forces to see if they hold any local information they believe relevant to the job being applied for, there are set guildlines for this, and any information that is disclsoed is disclosed in the name of the chief counstable or there appointed designated person, there will be a department in each force that there job is to look at the disclosure of police information and each force will interpret the rule diffrently and each follow different processes.

For example some forces will write ot the person to inform them that they plan to disclose police information and will give that person a timeframe to make representations if they do not agree with the representations they then disclose the information once the DBS is back it is then up to that person to make representations to the independent monitor.

in some police forces they don't even write to the person beforehand they will just disclose the information if they believe it relevant it is then up to that person to make application to the independent monitor

The whole system is antiquated and totally out of touch with the situations that are going on

I have an enhanced DBS through the the update service. I paid my annual subscription a while ago and nothing has showed up on my renewal.
