Need to carry out a CRB Disclosure Scotland Check  ?

Then call Premier today 

The Criminal Records Bureau (CRB), an executive agency of the Home Office and Disclosure Scotland provides access to criminal record and other relevant information to organisations in England and Wales and Scotland. The results of the checks carried out by the CRB and Disclosure Scotland  help organisations make more informed decisions when recruiting people to work with children and the vulnerable.
 
CRB checks are also available to certain specified professional, licensing and regulatory bodies whose employees or volunteers are not necessarily in direct contact with the vulnerable.
 
Through the Disclosure service, organisations can ensure greater protection for the vulnerable members of our society and afford greater protection to their customers, staff, volunteers and ultimately their organisation.
 
What information is available through a CRB check?
 
A CRB and Disclosure Scotland check can provide access to a range of different types of information, such as:
 
  • held on the Police National Computer (PNC), including Convictions, Cautions, Reprimands and Warnings in England and Wales, and most of the relevant convictions in Scotland and Northern Ireland may also be included. 
  • held by local police forces and other agencies, relating to relevant non-conviction information;
  • from the Government's Protection of Children Act List (PoCA), where applicable;
  • from the Government's Protection of Vulnerable Adults List (PoVA), where applicable; and
  • held by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) under Section 142 of the Education Act 2002 (formerly known as List 99), where applicable.

 

Not all applications for those working with children or vulnerable adults will be eligible for a PoCA or PoVA Check. For the latest details on which posts or sectors are entitled to request such checks please go to  http://www.dfes.gov.uk/ for the PoCA List or http://www.dh.gov.uk/ for the PoVA List

The CRB and Disclosure Scotland does not check whether an applicant is permitted to work within the UK. The employer has liability for ensuring that the person they intend to employ does not have any restriction on their ability to take up employment within the UK. For further information on the rules surrounding working in the UK go to the Borders and Immigration Agency website at www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk
 
Levels of CRB and Disclosure Scotland Check
 
To provide this service, the CRB and Disclosure Scotland offers two types of check. These are Standard and Enhanced.
 
These checks cannot be obtained by members of the public directly but are only available to organisations and only for those professions, offices, employments, work and occupations listed in the Exceptions Order to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
 

Premier can assist you in obtaining either a CRB or Disclosure Scotland fee

  • Convictions, Cautions, Reprimands and Warnings held in England and Wales on the Police National Computer, the most of the relevant convictions in Scotland and Northern Ireland may also be included;
 
and if the position involves working with children or vulnerable adults, in the sectors or areas which are able to access them, and the relevant boxes have been marked on the application form, in Section Y (Y3 or Y4), 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 DCSF under Section 142 of the Education Act 2002 of those considered unsuitable for, or banned from working with children.
 Enhanced  CRB and Disclosure Scotland Check
 
Enhanced checks 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.
