CRB Code of Practice

Organisations that wish to use CRB checks must comply with the CRB's Code of Practice, developed after a lengthy public consultation exercise with input from a range of organisations.

The Code of Practice is intended to ensure - and to provide assurance to those applying for Standard and Enhanced Disclosures - that the information released will be used fairly. The code also seeks to ensure that sensitive personal information is handled and stored appropriately and is kept for only as long as necessary.
