Types of Criminal Record Checks

 

There are three levels of Criminal Record Checks available in the UK – a Basic Disclosure, a Standard Disclosure and an Enhanced Disclosure. BackCheck can help ensure that you are getting the appropriate level of criminal record disclosure for each employee, and that you understand your responsibilities in using the information revealed.

1. Basic Disclosure:

This level of criminal record check searches the Police National Computer for convictions which are not spent under the terms of the ROA. It discloses all such convictions, or states that there are none.

 

As it discloses only unspent convictions, a Basic Disclosure is available to any individual applying for, or already employed in, any position. For this reason, it is the most commonly ordered disclosure and is suitable for all industries and levels of candidates.

 

The typical turnaround time for a Basic Disclosure is 5-10 business days, although this can vary depending on the provider’s service levels.

2. Standard Disclosure:

This level of criminal record check discloses details of all spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings on the Police National Computer (PNC).

 

In order to submit a DBS (previously CRB & ISA) application for a Standard check, an individual must meet certain eligibility criteria.  Click here to find out if your candidate may be eligible for a Standard Disclosure.

 

The typical turnaround time for a Standard Disclosure is 5-10 business days, although this can vary depending on the provider’s service levels.

3. Enhanced Disclosure:

This level of criminal record check discloses details of all spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings on the Police National Computer (PNC). An Enhanced Disclosure may contain non-conviction local police force information.


Based on address history provided by the candidate, the disclosure request is sent to the Chief Constable or Chief Officer in the appropriate location. The Chief can choose to add any non-conviction information (e.g. suspicions) if they feel it relevant to the position applied for. Depending on the position applied for, an Enhanced Disclosure will also check the relevant ISA barred lists to ensure the individual is not barred from working with children and/or vulnerable adults.

 

In order to submit a DBS (previously CRB & ISA) application for a Standard check, an individual must meet certain eligibility criteria.  Click here  to find out if your candidate may be eligible for an Enhanced Disclosure.

 

The typical turnaround time for an Enhanced Disclosure is 4-6 weeks, although this can vary depending on the provider’s service volume levels.
