Adult first checks

What is an adult first check?

The DBS Adult First is a service that can be used only in exceptional cases and in accordance with the terms of Department of Health guidance, where a person is permitted to start work with adults before a DBS Certificate has been obtained. This applies to adult services where DBS Certificates are required by law, such as:

- Care homes
