DBS
The Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) have merged to become the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). CRB checks are now called DBS checks.
A DBS check may be needed for:
- certain jobs or voluntary work, eg working with children or in healthcare
- applying to foster or adopt a child
There are different rules for getting a criminal record check in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
