The Criminal Records Bureau - CRB

Personnel Checks (established 2004) is an approved Umbrella Body of the Criminal Record Bureau

We welcome enquiries and can provide expert advice on all areas of the CRB Check process and ISA registration. We offer a variety of checking options with specialist advice on the process of gaining the correct level of disclosure as well as information on the Independent Safeguarding Authority.

Personnel Checks agree to act on behalf of organisations to administer and obtain criminal record disclosures (crbs)for their prospective and present employees, based on the information supplied by the organisation. Personnel Checks plays a very important role on behalf of the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) to ensure smaller organisations can gain access to its valuable public service. We act as the main point of contact for all interaction to thecrb applications we process on behalf of an organisation.

We cannot answer queries relating to crb applications not made through Personnel Checks

Umbrella bodies must comply with the Criminal Records Bureau code of practice and we take reasonable steps to ensure that organisations to whom we are providing the service are able to comply with the relevant obligations of the same code. Ultimately however, the responsibility for complying with these obligations which relate to "all recipients of Disclosure information" rests with each individual recipient of the CRB check.

Personnel Checks is listed as an official crb umbrella body on the Criminal Records Bureau web site where further information can be found at www crb gov
