A check will only show if a person is ISA-registered, which
means the ISA has found no known reason why the applicant should
not work with children or vulnerable adults. It also means that we
will review their status if any new information becomes available.
It does not check for malpractice or all criminal convictions, and
therefore registration with the ISA does not guarantee that a
person has no criminal history.
A CRB check provides a fuller picture of a person’s criminal
history and allows employers to make informed decisions as to
whether that person is suitable for a particular role or
position.
For individuals registered with the Vetting and Barring Scheme,
further Enhanced CRB checks will be at the employers’ discretion
and organisations may still wish to apply for CRB Enhanced
Disclosure to obtain an applicant’s full criminal record. However,
where there is a legal requirement to check or they are required by
a regulatory body (such as Ofsted), it is envisaged that the
existing statutory requirements for CRB Enhanced Disclosures will
still apply.
