What is a CRB check?

A CRB check searches details against criminal records and other sources, including the Police National Computer. The results of the search are supplied to the employer and the prospective employee. It will either confirm that the person has no criminal record, or it will list any relevant convictions, cautions, reprimands, warnings and, if applicable, whether they have been barred from working with vulnerable groups. The police can also include non-conviction information, for example, fixed penalties, that may be relevant.
