Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks
Governance:
The Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA)have merged to become the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). CRB checks are now called DBS checks.
An employer may request a criminal records check processed through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) as part of its recruitment process.
For certain roles the check will also include information held on the DBS’s children and adults barred lists, together with any information held locally by police forces that is reasonably considered to be relevant to the applied for post.
