There
are some changes taking effect in September 2012 and further changes in
December 2012 on the way in which CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) checks are
done.
September
2012 changes:
• Children under 16 are no longer eligible for CRB checks
• The definition of ‘regulated activity’ (frequent activity that
involves contact with children or vulnerable adults) will be changed, meaning 4
million posts are no longer subject to barring status.
• Decisions that bar individuals from certain positions will also
involve the ISA (Independent Safeguarding Authority) to identify the likelihood
of the individual being engaged in regulated activity rather than automatically
barring them. December 2012 changes:
• The CRB and ISA will merge on 1st December to form the
Disclosure and Barring
Service (DBS).
