DBS checks formerly CRB checks in UK...Where do you download the application form from?

As I am about to pick up some babysitting work in England I need a criminal records check, CRB. Now they are called DBS checks. I have found the main government site with all the info one could possibly want...but without an obvious link to the application form.

Any pointers?

    It will say on the site that you cannot apply yourself, it has to be an employer. However- if you look on Disclosure Scotland, I believe that you can. This does cover England as well.

    You cant blag your way out of it, the checks they do are too comprehensive and even if you give some form of false information this will mean the check will bring up nothing at all, the business will smell a rat and you will not be employed. What is the job you are going to do if it is FSA regulated then they just need to prove you are not bankrupt. If you are dealing with customers in their homes then it totally depends on what you criminal record is, is it spent, how long ago was it. Be completely upfront with the employer, tell them everything(they will find out anyway) and take you chances. if it is a no... go for a job in a different environment until your finances are in better shape.

    There is no form, it is the prospective employer who asks for the information not you.
