CRB Service at a Glance

The Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) acts as a 'one-stop-shop' for organisations, checking police records and, in relevant cases, information held by the Department of Health (DH) and the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF).

Organisations that wish to use CRB checks must comply with the CRB's Code of Practice.

Registered Bodies are organisations that have registered directly with the CRB to use its services. Hessle Road Network is a Registered Body.

There are two levels of CRB check currently available; called Standard and Enhanced Disclosures. The two CRB checks are available in cases where an employer is entitled to ask exempted questions under the Exceptions Order to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974. This includes any organisation whose staff or volunteers work with children or vulnerable adults.

Charges for this service are as follows:

Volunteer: £19

Standard Paid Worker: £49

Enhanced Paid Worker: £54

ISA Adult First: £6
