However, some roles are exempt from the normal criteria. This normally includes any role carried out at least once a week (or 3 days in a 30 day period) in a school, care home or hospital. Only roles that are included in the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 are eligible for the Enhanced DBS Check. Healthcare professionals, support workers, teachers all come under this classification. These checks are only available to people engaging with the most vulnerable and at-risk demographics in our society.
