\nWhen should employers renew my criminal records check?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nEach employer has its own policies about how often they repeat criminal records checks.

\nDoes everyone working in the NHS need a DBS check?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nMost people working in the NHS will need a DBS check.

\nDo I need a criminal records check to study at University?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nThere is not a blanket requirement for students to get a CRB or DBS check when enrolling at University. However, this is a requirement for some courses involving regulated activity such as education or healthcare.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nCan you pass or fail a CRB check?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nCertificates aren\u2019t marked with a grade, recommendations or pass\/fail marks. The certificate just states the facts, leaving it up to the employer to make the decision.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nCan someone do a CRB check without my permission?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nNo, your employer needs your consent to run a DBS check<\/a> or any other check on you. There may of course be implications in refusing to give permission to your employer.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nCan I see what information the police hold about me?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nYes, but not through the DBS process. Make a right of access request through your local police service.

\nCan I get my criminal record check certificate by email?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nCertificates can only be sent out has hard copies in the post.

If after two weeks you haven\u2019t received your certificate, get in touch with the DBS to request a replacement.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nCan I get a copy of a DBS certificate?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nThe DBS don\u2019t offer reprints of certificates. This is because information may have changed in between certificates being issued, and you requesting a replacement.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhat do I do if I lose my CRB Certificate?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nOnce your employer has seen your certificate, they are unlikely to want to see it again. If you lose it before showing it to your employer, speak to the DBS promptly about getting a replacement.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nWhat are the most common problems with a CRB application?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nThe most common reason for a check to be rejected is that the applicant has made a mistake in completing it.

\nIs there anything I can do to speed up my DBS check?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nEven though there is no fast-track option, making sure you fill in the form fully and correctly, fully understanding what\u2019s being asked, will maximise your chances of getting your check back quickly.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nIs there a different process for renewing a criminal records check?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nUnfortunately, there is no quicker process for getting a renewed criminal records check. The only option is to go through the whole process of providing your identification documents and filling in the form again.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nIs a CRB check the same as a credit check?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nNo, a credit check is purely an assessment of your financial situation and doesn\u2019t check your criminal record. In some situations, a credit check might be performed as well as a criminal records check.<\/p>\nWatch video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nIs a conviction the same as a charge?<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nNo, a conviction means you were found guilty in court.
