Criminal Records Bureau - Basic Disclosure: Routing Applications for basic disclosure through registered bodies - A Consultation Paper

The Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) was established in response to demands for a more comprehensive and effective means by which employers, voluntary organisations and others could obtain access to an applicant's criminal record details (if any) when assessing their suitability for employment or voluntary work. The CRB's purpose is to provide accurate criminal record information on applicants for relevant work in England and Wales in the most effective and efficient way.
