DBS Gender Pay Gap Report 2025

The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) published its 2025 Gender Pay Gap Report, fulfilling annual transparency obligations under UK gender pay gap reporting legislation. The report presents DBS's gender pay gap data for 2025 and includes analysis of the figures along with organisational actions to address any identified gap. The document was first published on 31 March 2026 and updated on 9 April 2026 to add a British Sign Language translation.

For UK employers with 250 or more employees, this report demonstrates the standard for compliance with gender pay gap reporting requirements. Organisations should ensure they understand the reporting deadlines and methodology, submit required data to the government portal, and prepare accompanying narratives explaining their figures and improvement actions. Public sector employers in particular should monitor DBS reporting practices as a reference point.
