What is the “Additional Information” that might be received for Enhanced Disclosures?
Enhanced Disclosures start off the same way as Standard Disclosures but then have are sent to each of the police authorities where the applicant has lived in, in the past five years. The police check whether there is any “soft intelligence” i.e. they strongly suspect someone but haven’t yet, got enough evidence to put forward a case. They will look at the job title and assess how much risk there might be and whether they feel able to share this information. If they do feel able to share this information, this will be sent separately to the Registered Body (Crossways) and advice will be sought as to how to proceed. The applicant will not be aware (and it would be illegal for them to be informed) that his information exists. However it should be noted that this extra information is extremely rare (CRB estimate 1 in every 10,000 applications) and in the several hundred Disclosures processed by Crossways, none has been seen.
