Best Answer

Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Checks were replaced by Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Checks in 2012. DBS checks are required for care settings as the services users are considered to be 'at risk', therefore more stringent recruitment processes should be put into to practice in order to protect them.
