Levels of Disclosure
To provide this service, the CRB offers two levels of Disclosure, each representing a different level of check. The two levels of Disclosure are Standard and Enhanced. These Disclosures cannot be obtained by members of the public and are only available to organisations for those professions, offices, employments, work and occupations listed in the Exceptions Order to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
Standard Disclosure
Standard Disclosures are primarily for posts that involve working with children or vulnerable adults. Standard Disclosures may also be issued for people entering certain professions, such as members of the legal and accountancy professions. Standard Disclosures contain the following details of all convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings held on the Police National Computer (PNC) and if the position involves working with children or vulnerable adults and the relevant boxes have been marked on the application form 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 DfES under Section 142 of the Education Act 2002 of those considered unsuitable or banned from working with children.
Enhanced Disclosure
Enhanced Disclosures 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. Examples include a Teacher, Scout or Guide leader. Enhanced Disclosures are also issued for certain statutory purposes such as gaming and lottery licences.
Enhanced Disclosures contain the same information as Standard Disclosures but with the addition of local police force information considered relevant by Chief Police Officer(s)
