If you routinely work with children or adults classed as "vulnerable" then your employer has to be satisfied that you haven't been legally barred from doing such work, or have anything in your history that might make you an unacceptable risk. In Scotland, it's Disclosure Scotland that does background checks. In England and Wales it's the Disclosure and Barring Service.

I guess as you go into homes where there are kids, elderly or disabled people, then BT wants to be satisfied that there is no reason why you shouldn't. Your Disclosure certificate will tell them that.
