CRB Applications

Q. Is a criminal record check foolproof?

No. They contain information about spent or current convictions, or information that has formally come to the notice of the police. One of ways in which the system can be foiled is identity theft.  That is why a great deal of effort is made to verify the accuracy of the personal details and documents provided.  We must make sure that people are, who they claim to be.
