CRB Guidance

The following Guidance for Disclosure applicants is designed to help answer any questions applicants may have about the service.

What is a Disclosure?

A Disclosure is a document containing information held by the police and government departments. It can be used by employers and voluntary organisations to make safer recruitment decisions. Disclosures are provided by the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB), an executive agency of the Home Office.

The Disclosure service offers organisations a means to check the background of job applicants to ensure that they do not have a history that would make them unsuitable for posts they are trying to fill. Disclosures will provide details of a person's criminal record including convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings held on the Police National Computer (PNC). If the position involves working with children, Disclosures will also contain details from lists held by the Department of Health (DH) and the Department of Education and Skills (DfES) of those considered unsuitable for this type of work. Depending upon the level of Disclosure, it might also contain information held by local police forces.

What are the different levels of Disclosure?

The CRB issues three levels of Disclosure, each representing a different level of check. The three levels of Disclosure are:

  • Standard Disclosure
  • Enhanced Disclosure

Standard Disclosures

Standard Disclosures are primarily for posts that involve working with children or vulnerable adults. Standard Disclosures may also be issued for people entering certain professions, such as members of the legal and accountancy professions. Standard Disclosures contain the following;

  • details of all convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings held on the Police National Computer (PNC);

and if the position involves working with children or vulnerable adults and the relevant boxes have been marked on the application form to indicate this:

  • information from the Protection of Children Act List (PoCA);
  • Information from the Protection of Vulnerable Adults List (POVA); and
  • Information held by the DfES under Section 142 of the Education Act 2002 of those considered unsuitable for banned from working with children.

Enhanced Disclosures

Enhanced Disclosures are for posts involving a far greater degree of contact with children or vulnerable adults. In general, the type of work will involve regularly caring for, supervising, training or being in sole charge of such people. Examples include a Teacher, Scout or Guide leader. Enhanced Disclosures are also issued for certain statutory purposes such as gaming and lottery licences.

Enhanced Disclosures contain the same information as Standard Disclosures but with the addition of local police force information considered relevant by Chief Police Officer(s).
