CRB checks were replaced by DBS checks in 2012.
The employer/organisation that requests the check must be registered with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) or a DBS Umbrella Body. They will pass an application form on to the person who needs the DBS check (the applicant).
The applicant completes the application form (either on paper or online) and returns it to the DBS registered body with ID (the employer might verify the applicant's ID on behalf of the DBS registered body).
The registered body ensures everything is correct on the application and countersigns it, then they submit it to the DBS.
The DBS put the information from the application form onto their systems and pass the info onto all the relevant police forces (usually the forces that have covered the areas in which the applicant has lived in the last 5 years). The police check their systems for any information they might need to include on the DBS certificate and send it all back to the DBS.
The DBS prints the certificate and sends it to the applicant's current address.
The applicant presents the certificate to their employer.
Allegations alone do not go on your Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) check. Only convictions, cautions, reprimands, and final warnings are included in a standard or enhanced DBS check. However, investigations could be carried out based on allegations, and the outcome of these investigations may impact your CRB check.
No, an employee warning will not appear on a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check. CRB checks only show details of an individual’s criminal record, if any. Non-criminal issues like employee warnings or performance reviews are not disclosed in a CRB check.
CRB forms were replaced by DBS forms in 2012. Standard and Enhanced DBS applications use the same form so you would have to check with the Registered Body to find out how they have allocated it. You can also check your DBS certificate once it has been issued.
