What is the difference/relationship between the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) with a CRB check and the ISA for ISA registration?
A CRB check (sometimes referred to as a “Disclosure”) provides a full picture of an individual’s criminal history which for a small group of sensitive roles is provided to employers. CRB checks cannot be applied for by individuals. The Exceptions Order to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 sets out the professions, offices, employment, work and occupations which can be CRB checked. ISA registration only covers those working vulnerable groups whereas CRB checks extend to many other roles; such as security guards licensed by the Security Industry Authority and taxi drivers. ISA-registration is not intended to replace CRB checks Where CRB checks are mandatory they will continue to be, regardless of the new requirements of the Vetting and Barring Scheme. There are two types of CRB check currently available Standard and Enhanced. From the launch of the new VBS anyone employed (i.e. not the self employed) with vulnerable groups in “regulated activity” will be entitled to an Enhanced CR
