CRB
What is the CRB?
The Criminal Records Bureau was set up to help protect children and vulnerable adults by providing a first-class service to support organisations recruiting people into positions of trust.
The Criminal Records Bureau (CRB), an Executive Agency of the Home Office, provides wider access to criminal record information through its checking service.
This service enables organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors to make safer recruitment decisions by identifying candidates who may be unsuitable for certain work, especially that involve children or vulnerable adults. The CRB was established under Part V of the Police Act 1997 and was launched in March 2002.
Enhanced Disclosure
This is the highest level of check available to anyone working in regulated activity with children or vulnerable adults. It is also available in certain licensing purposes and judicial appointments. Enhanced CRB checks contain the same information as the Standard Disclosure but with the addition of;
- any relevant and proportionate information held by the local police forces.
- a check of the new Children and or Vulnerable Adults barred lists where requested.
The CRB recognises that the Standard and Enhanced Disclosure information can be extremely sensitive and personal, therefore it has published a Code of Practice and employers’ guidance for recipients of Disclosures to ensure they are handled fairly and used properly.
A copy of the Standard or Enhanced Disclosure will be sent out to the applicant as well as the Registered Body
