A Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check is a process for gathering information about someones criminal convictions and other cautions, reprimands, and final warnings. However, CRB checks no longer exist, and they have been replaced by Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks since 2012. DBS checks enable employers to check the criminal records of current and potential employees to ascertain whether or not they are suitable to work with vulnerable adults and children. Although there is no legal requirement for DBS checks in any role, many employers and regulated bodies have DBS checks as part of their recruitment policies and procedures. There are different levels of DBS checks, including Basic Disclosure, Standard DBS Check, Enhanced DBS Check, and Enhanced DBS Check with Adult First. The type of check required depends on the job applied for and the sector. It is important to note that a DBS check is not a pass or fail test, but rather a search of the Police National Computer (PNC) for an individuals criminal history. It is then the decision of the employer, client, or organization to make a recruitment decision based on what information the certificate presents.
