CRB DISCLOSURE CHECKS
There are three main categories for disclosure of criminal records; Basic Disclosure, Standard Disclosure, and Enhanced Disclosure. For the majority of employment roles the Standard and Enhanced Disclosures are not permitted, as determined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 updated by the Exceptions Order 1975. The Exceptions order of 1975 permitted individuals employed in certain roles to be screened for both spent and unspent criminal records. An example of an exempted role is anyone working with vulnerable adults or children.
For most types of employment within the UK the level of criminal records check would normally be the basic CRB disclosure. For higher levels of criminal record screening there should be specific employment requirement as defined in the Exceptions order of 1975, examples of relevant roles of employment are actuaries, opticians, nurses, prison wardens, police officers, and those working with vulnerable adults or children.
