Will I be told if I am on the barred list of a DBS and how long before I know?

The short answer is yes, you will be told if you are on the barred list of a DBS check. The DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) is a government organisation that is responsible for carrying out checks on individuals who work with vulnerable groups, such as children or the elderly.

If you have been placed on the barred list, it means that you are not allowed to work with vulnerable groups. The DBS will send you a letter informing you of this decision, and they will also notify your employer.

There is no set time frame for how long it will take for you to be notified of the decision, but it is usually within a few weeks.
