<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nAlso known as List 99, this is the list of people who are formally blocked from working with specific groups. Enhanced disclosures<\/a> will usually involve a search of this list.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhat happens with CRB and DBS checks in Northern Ireland?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nIn Northern Ireland, the criminal records check system is run by AccessNI, and provides broadly the same level of information to employers and individuals.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhat happens to my certificate when it arrives?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nYour certificate will be sent to your home address. After you have shown it to your employer, they will usually return it to you, after taking a note of the number.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhat happens if I can\u2019t supply the right identity documents for a CRB or DBS check?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nThere are many different combinations of documents which you can use for a check. If you don\u2019t have identity documents in your own name, speak to the DBS for advice first.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhat does unspent mean?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nUnder rehabilitation law in all parts of the UK, crimes and convictions drop off the end of your criminal record after a set period. An unspent conviction hasn\u2019t reached that stage yet.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhat does CRB stand for?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nCRB stands for Criminal Records Bureau. This organisation has been replaced by the Disclosure and Barring Service in England and Wales.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhat does a Standard DBS certificate show?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nA standard DBS certificate will include all current convictions and cautions, plus any older conviction information which the Police feel is relevant to the application.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhat documents do I need to apply for a criminal records check?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nPart of the process involves checking the identity of the person making the application, so you\u2019ll need key documents such as passport, driving licence, utility bills or credit card statements.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhen does my CRB or DBS Certificate Expire?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nThere is no expiry date printed on a DBS certificate. Employers have to make their own decisions about how often they want to repeat tests on workers, based on their own safeguarding policies.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nHow long does it take for a conviction to be spent?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nIt all depends on the sentence, and the age of the person involved. Some of the most serious crimes will never be spent. Look on an online calculator if you think it might affect you.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWho can help me with my DBS or CRB application?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nYour employer should be able to help with your DBS application, but the DBS can also respond to queries by either email or phone, during standard office hours.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhich names should I give on a DBS check?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nIn order to search effectively, the DBS will need all previous names, whether given names or surnames.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhich jobs need a DBS check?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nThe jobs which require a DBS check are called regulated activity. There is lots of information online about which jobs need a DBS check. As a general rule, these are jobs in childcare, education and healthcare.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhy do I need a DBS or CRB check?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nNot every job needs a DBS check. In some occupations, such as working with children or in healthcare, your employer needs to check your background by law.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhat will a DBS check show?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nThe level of detail shown on a DBS certificate will depend on the type of check. There are three levels of check, Basic, Enhanced and Standard.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhat will a Basic DBS certificate show?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nA basic DBS check<\/a> is the least detailed check. The certificate will show the applicant\u2019s unspent record only, both convictions and cautions.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhat is shown on an Enhanced DBS Certificate?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nThe most detailed DBS check is an enhanced certificate.

\nWhat is DBS Update?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nUpdate is a subscription service offered by the Disclosure and Barring Service which gives you real-time access to your disclosure information using an online database.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhat is a DBS certificate?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nThe certificate is the end of the DBS process, and is a physical piece of paper sent out in the post to the applicant, not their employer.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhat is a CRB Check?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nA CRB check is a type of background check run in the United Kingdom, which looks into an individual\u2019s criminal record, or other police intelligence.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nPrev<\/u><\/a> - 1<\/u><\/a> - 2<\/u><\/a> - 3 - 4<\/u><\/a> - 5<\/u><\/a> - 6<\/u><\/a> - Next<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Page 3 of 6 Prev - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - Next<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
