is an executive agency of the Home Office. It has been established to
improve access to information in relation to criminal records held by the
Police, other information in relation to employment with the Department of
Health, The Department for Skills and Education and other relevant
government departments.
What is a Disclosure?
"Disclosure" is a document containing
information held by the above authorities.
The Disclosure service offers organisations a
means to verify the background of applicants to ensure they do not have a
history that would make them unsuitable for particular positions they are
trying to fill.
What will a Disclosure tell you?
Disclosures will provide details of a person¹s criminal record, including
convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings held on the Police National
Computer (PNC).
If a position involves working with Children,
Disclosures will also contain details from lists held by the Department of
Health (DH) and the Department for Skills and Education (DfES) of those considered unsuitable for this type of
work.
Types of Disclosure:
Basic Disclosure
This Disclosure is NOT suitable for applicants working with children, the
elderly and other vulnerable groups.
The Basic Disclosure only contains information held on Central Police
records that are unspent according to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act
1974.
Standard Disclosure
This contains information about both spent and unspent convictions, as well
as cautions, warnings and reprimands. It is available in relation to posts
that involve regular contact with Children and other vulnerable groups. It
also checks information held by the DH and DfES.
Standard disclosures are also issued to people entering certain
professions, such as legal and finance professions, to name but two.
This Disclosure can ONLY be obtained through a Registered
Body to the CRB. Not by the individuals themselves.
Enhanced Disclosure
Relates to particularly sensitive area of work, e.g.
involving unsupervised contact with children, young people, and vulnerable
groups. It is the most comprehensive and appropriate check that is
available to organisations and gives thorough
information on all records held PNC, local police files, DH and DfES. List 99, POCA list (Protection of Children Act) and the POVA list (Protection of Vulnerable Adults). These are
lists of Adults deemed NOT suitable to work with Children, but may not have
been prosecuted. In addition, the Chief Officer of police may release
information for inclusion in an Enhanced disclosure and additional
information may be sent under separate cover which is not released to the
applicant.
This check can ONLY be obtained through a
Registered Body to the CRB.
Why is a Disclosure Necessary?
Under the Protection of Children Act 1999 and the Criminal
Justice and Court Services Act 2000, it is an offence for any organisation to offer employment that involves regular
contact with young people under the age of 18 to anyone who has been
convicted of certain specified offences or included on lists of people
considered unsuitable for such work held by the DH and DfES.
The act applies to employment agencies and employment
business whether they are carried on by commercial concerns for profit or
by non-profit making bodies.
