They are far more worried about secrecy. I would declare then nothing to worry about. As long as it really is minor.

Some use basic, some use standard. In Scotland it's Disclosure and is either basic or enhanced.
You'd need to ask the agent/outsourced onboarder what they use.

My contract is subject to DBS checks and credit ratings etc. Credit is fine, but I'm just worried about the DBS side of things. A caution will show up on a Standard DBS check, but not a Basic DBS check. I was wondering if anyone who had been through the process with the big banks knew if they did Basic or Standard checks.
I am pretty sure I can explain the incident/caution if I was asked and it wouldn't be a massive problem but if they only do a Basic check, I'll be worrying about nothing...
Thanks

I've never had to do a DBS for any financial orgs, but I've not worked in a bank so cannot say. I think some do and some don't. Depends on the institution and role.
If you've already got the contract without being asked for a DBS then they might not want one.
But why not just pay the £25 and get one? Then you'll know the second answer for sure.
