Enhanced Disclosure
This is the highest level of check available to anyone working in regulated activity with children or vulnerable adults. It is also available in certain licensing purposes and judicial appointments. Enhanced CRB checks contain the same information as the Standard Disclosure but with the addition of;
- any relevant and proportionate information held by the local police forces.
- a check of the new Children and/or Vulnerable Adults barred lists where requested.
The cost of an Enhanced Disclosure is £36 per Disclosure. This is paid to the CRB by EM Direct.
EM Direct also charge £17 per Disclosure Application to cover all administrative costs.
The information contained in both Standard and Enhanced Disclosures can be extremely sensitive and personal, therefore the CRB has published a Code of Practice and employers' guidance for recipients of Disclosures to ensure that they are handled fairly and used properly. EM Direct
