The purpose of the CRB check is to identify anyone who has a conviction for offences against children and young people, or is in some way disqualified from working with children or vulnerable adults. Criminal Records Bureau will firstly check that the applicant is who they say they are by considering information about identity supplied with each application. It then checks lists held by the Police, Department for Education and Skills, and the Department of Health.
There are three levels of check, basic, standard and enhanced. All volunteers who have regular contact with children and vulnerable adults will need to apply for an enhanced check.
This document outlines the steps you need to take to cover those working with young people.
