| Enhanced CRB Disclosure |
Enhanced CRB checks are for posts that involve work in a ”Regulated Activity” and for a regulated activity provider with children or vulnerable adults. In general this type of work will involve regularly caring for, supervising, training or being in sole charge of such people. Examples include a Teacher, Scout or Guide leader. Enhanced checks are also issued for certain statutory purposes such as gaming and lottery licences.
Enhanced checks contain the same information as Standard checks but with the addition of any locally held police force information considered relevant to the job role. |

| Volunteer Disclosure |
Standard and Enhanced criminal checks for volunteers are “free of charge" and so only the administration fee is applied. |

| Adult First check |
The Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) Adult First check searches the Department of Health’s list of people who it bars from working with vulnerable adults. Those employing people to posts that involve working with vulnerable adults may be able to request a check of the Vulnerable Adults' Barred list. ISA Adult First checks are available in only very exceptional circumstances. For England these are described in Department of Health guidance as, where a care worker may be allowed to start work in a care home, for a domiciliary care agency, or as an adult placement carer before a CRB check has been issued.
ISA Adult First checks can only be applied for if you submit a CRB disclosure application. |

| ISA Registration with Enhanced CRB Disclosure |
The Vetting and Barring Scheme extended the scope of activities and workplaces covered by barring. It will be an offence for any barred person to work in “Regulated Activities”, and for any employer to employ someone known to be barred, either paid or voluntary. When you recruit someone new to work with children or vulnerable adults you may check their ISA status. There are two categories: controlled and regulated activities, see the ISA factsheet to see which apply.

Important dates:

From 1st November 2010 it will be an offence for any person to commence “Regulated Activity” without first being ISA registered.
