What is DBS Check?
The Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) have merged to become the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). CRB checks are now called DBS checks. Vulnerable groups of people need to be protected and CRB / DBS checks assist in ensuring that the most suitable people are appointed to roles working with these vulnerable groups.
