You can find out whether a person is eligible for an enhanced DBS check in our Child and Adult workforce Guidance on the DBS eligibility page.

To apply for a home-based position DBS check, the applicant:

  • must be eligible for an enhanced DBS check for work which is listed in the flow chart, and
  • must carry out some or all of their work with children or adults from the place where the applicant lives, or
  • live in the household of someone who is being, or has been, checked because they work with children and carry out some or all of their work from their own home
