UK DBS check after living overseas

[tinopener]

I'm a UK citizen who has lived in Asia for the last five years.

I've been offered a PGCE interview and assessment day, and been told I will need certain documents for the DBS check. I didn't keep a registered address in the UK and all my UK bank details have listed my addresses in Asia for the last five years, not the UK.

Is this likely to be a problem when getting the DBS check?

Thanks in advance or any advice .

Be prepared to get police checks from other countries where you have lived (I've had to do this a couple of times before inc. Asian countries and it's not as much of a nightmare as it sounds).

No it wont be a problem at all DBS is easy, and you can keep it updated digitally now. Schools generally require a local CRB check from your current region.
