How is a crb check carried out?

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.


Does a police warning come up on a CRB check?

Warnings will not show up on a standard DBS check and are unlikely to show on an enhanced DBS check. The police have the power to include any intelligence they hold on you on an enhanced DBS check, but only if the believe it is relevant to a recruitment decision. Final warnings (youth cautions) will show up on a DBS check until they become protected.


What is the difference between a CRB check and a DBS check?

In December 2012, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) took over the duties of the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) so CRB checks became known as DBS checks. For all intents and purposes, they are the same thing.


Will a caution show up on a CRB check?

Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Checks were replaced by Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Checks in 2012. Basic criminal record checks do not show cautions. Standard and Enhanced DBS checks show cautions that are not 'protected' under current legislation. A caution for an offence that is on the prescribed 'list of offences that will never be filtered from a DBS certificate' will always show on standard and enhanced DBS checks. A caution for an offence that is not on that list will become 'protected' once 6 years have passed (2 years if the person was under 18 at the time of caution). Once 'protected' it will no longer show up on a standard DBS check and will only show on an enhanced DBS check if the police believe it is relevant.


Will a caution show on a CRB check after six years?

Once 6 years have passed (or 2 if you were under 18 at time of caution), a caution will stop showing up on a DBS check unless the offence is on the 'DBS list of offences that will never be filtered from a criminal record check' (available on the DBS website).
