DBS Criminal Records Bureau (UK)

The CRB (now known as DBS - the Disclosure ad Barring Service) - an executive agency of the Home Office - is set up to help organisations make safer recruitment decisions. By providing wider access to criminal record information, the CRB helps employers in the public, private and voluntary sectors identify candidates who may be unsuitable for certain work, especially that involving contact with children or other vulnerable members of society.
