I was worried about this DBS thing and so was my friend who's reported a robber in the past who attacked her whilst working (he was caught, publicly named and shamed, and prosecuted). She contacted the police who were in charge of her case and they have assured her - and also contacted the DBS department for clarification - that no mention of sex work would ever be disclosed on a DBS certificate if a person has reported a crime against them. It's only the person's convictions that go on the DBS certificate, and no mention of escort work should ever be included.
The officer in charge of my friend's case says (And I've read the email myself) that under no way, shape or form would a victim of any offence have this disclosed as part of DBS checks.
It's good that the DBS comes to you first so you can double check before it goes anywhere else - and if the sex work thing ever did come up on it, then you should be able to get it removed.
