CRB CHECKS

The Criminal Records Bureau is a Home Office Agency that provides a wide access to criminal record information through its Disclosure service.

The CRB's Disclosure service provides access to a range of different types of records, such as information :

held on the Police National Computer (PNC), including convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings in England, Wales and those recorded from Scotland. There is also some Northern Ireland conviction data held on PNC
held by local police forces relating to relevant non-conviction information
from the Government's Protection of Children Act List (PoCA)
from the Government's Protection of Vulnerable Adults List (POVA)
held by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) under Section 142 of the Education Act 2002 (formerly known as List 99)

We encourage all of our nannies to hold an Enhanced Disclosure, which is the highest level of check available.
