As we all prepare to welcome King Charles III to the throne following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, it’s important to remember that even royalty isn’t above the law. Of course, King Charles can do what he wants (within reason!), but if he did need a DBS check, what would he need?
What Kind of DBS Check Would The New King Need?
Well, let’s start with the basics. Being the Head of State is a position that requires an incredibly high level of public trust, as well as involving a wide variety of roles and duties. Because of the unique circumstances of his position, King Charles III will need an Enhanced DBS check, which will reveal any criminal convictions, cautions, warnings, and reprimands he may have received in the past.
Does The New King Require a Barred Lists Check?
As the head of state, King Charles III will not be required to undergo a barred list check. The barred list check is reserved for individuals who will be working in roles that involve regular contact with children or vulnerable adults. These roles include teaching, social work, and healthcare.
While the King may meet with members of the public, his role is primarily ceremonial and symbolic, and he will not be involved in the day-to-day care of children or vulnerable adults. Therefore, a barred list check is not necessary for his position.
