Will my DBS check show up my husband's criminal record?

zebrarosen

I need to have a DBS check, my criminal record is clear. However my husband does a have a criminal record, is there any way that his offences will show up on my check? It is not for anything that concerns him, i.e child minding at home or anything. But I do personally know the person who will see the results of my check and I really don't want it to reveal anything that my husband has in his past to her.

No the DBS check is for you alone so only your criminal record will show. If it was a job such a child minding he would require his own check.

The only exception to this is a really sensitive job (MI5, MI6) at which point they may also consider convictions from friends and relatives.

No it is not a really sensitive job, so even on the enhanced disclosure where they access additional information it won't have anything about him in it?

The form doesn't ask about partners or who else lives at the address, so there's nothing to link. Its just about you.

No any DBS check will only have your information on it.

My previous example was only if your in a high legal Government job where they'll look into the background of people you associate with as well as your own but 99.9% of jobs won't go this in depth. So unless the job your going for involved you being a spy you'll be fine.

Not unless you've been implicated in his history but without enough evidence to bring you to court as well ... which I'm guessing is highly unlikely.

A lot of other jobs are security cleared to this extent, for example working for the Police even as a civilian contractor.

It is not actually for a job it is to go on a committee for a vulnerable people. I won't actually have anyone in my care but I will need an enhanced DBS to be on the committee. I was not implicated or involved in my husbands past crime at all. I am just worried they might have put it in with the extra information giving for the enhanced disclosure.
