Since the introduction of The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 there have been many
changes to the CRB Checking Process. As this Bill is extremely complex it is taking time for
the necessary Government Guidance to be clarified. Confirmation of the final position will
be provided in 2013 following the implementation of the final round of changes arising from
the Act. As these changes are being rolled out over the next few months we will endeavour
to keep you informed as to how they will affect the CRB Application process by email and on
the Board of Education website. Unfortunately, this may come at short notice, as we can
only respond, when the information is released by the Home Office.
In the meantime, as you are aware the CRB introduced a number of changes to the CRB ID
Checking process which changed on the 28th May 2012. We are just contacting you to
remind you that the period of grace is now over and that you must now comply with the
new ID Checking Process.
Regarding Route two of the ID Checking Process the Diocese has engaged the services of
Compliance Assist working through Experian to act as our External ID Validation Service. The
cost of providing this service is currently being met by the Board of Education and free to
our schools should they need to use it. This service should only be used where an applicant
genuinely cannot satisfy Routes One and or Two the ID Validating purposes. It is not to be
used lightly, the applicant should endeavour to provide enough ID as required by the new ID
checking Routes.
We hope that you find this information helpful.
Yours in God

Route One
All applicants must initially be considered for Route One.
Can the applicant produce a Group 1 document? If yes, then the applicant must produce 3
documents:
 1 document from Group 1 (refer to list of Valid Identity Documents); and
 2 further documents from Group 1 , 2a or 2b; one of which must verify their current
address.
If the applicant has satisfied this route, then the document check is complete. If the
applicant cannot produce a Group 1 document then go to Route Two.
NOTE – EEA Nationals (Non-UK):
Where an EEA National has been resident in the UK for five years or less, the Registered
Body should validate identity via Route One through the checking of a Current Passport or
Current UK Driving Licence (photo card only) plus 2 further documents.
In the absence of a Group 1 document the Evidence Checker/Registered Body must satisfy
themselves of a valid reason for using Route 2.
Route Two
The applicant must produce:
 3 documents from Group 2 comprising of;
and

The organisation conducting the ID check will then need to ensure an appropriate
external ID validation service is used to check the applicant against their records to
establish the applicant’s name and living history footprint
An external ID validation check is an alternative way of verifying the identity of an applicant.
It will involve you providing an applicant’s details (as presented on the application form) to
your chosen supplier, who will compare the data you have obtained from the applicant
against a range of independent, external data sources.
ROUTE TWO - Using the External ID Validation Service
The Criminal Records Bureau recently released an update to its identity checking guidance
regarding the use of an external identity validation check for Route 2 of the identity
checking process.
4
In order to comply with the CRB’s ID validation requirements the Diocese has employed
‘Compliance Assist’ to act as the service provider for our External ID Validation Service.
Evidence Checkers will be able to access this service by contacting the Diocesan Board of
Education to request an External ID Validation check only when required to satisfy Route
Two.
To validate an individual’s identity the Evidence Checker will need to provide the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
The Individual’s FULL NAME
Their CURRENT ADDRESS
ANY previous address if they have moved in the last 3 years
The Individual’s DATE of BIRTH
The Individual must also be asked to provide consent to their identity being validated
electronically.
Please contact either Debra Jagger on 01254 503410 or Helen Morris on 01254 503404 at
the Board of Education to enable the checks to be carried out on your behalf. We will
require the signed, dated & written consent of the applicant prior to carrying out the check.
Plus the information requested above.
Please use the Diocesan External ID Validation Check Consent Form which will be supplied
on request (sample copy attached).
If you have endeavoured to use Route Two, but have been unable to validate the applicant’s
identity successfully, you may consider proceeding to Route Three.
Please be advised that Route Three should only be used in circumstances once you have
fully explored with the applicant why their identity has not been successfully validated via
Routes One or Two. To do this, you should hold a probing discussion with the applicant
about the likely reasons why their identity has not been validated before considering using
Route Three. You should keep a record of this discussion for internal purposes as it is the
Organisation’s responsibility to establish the true identity of the applicant through the
examination of a range of documents as set out in this guidance.
Should you still be unable to validate the applicant’s identity using Routes One, Two or
Three, then you should indicate this on the application form at Box W59 and return the
form to the CRB. The applicant will then need to be sent for fingerprinting by the Police,
which you should be aware is likely to cause delay to the CRB application process and
subsequently to your recruitment process

Details required to undertake an External ID Validation Check
Please use BLACK INK and CAPITAL LETTERS throughout.
Dear
As part of the process to confirm your identity we need to undertake an external identity
validation check. This will be undertaken by a company called Compliance Assist, a partner
company of Experian. This process involves checking the details you supply against those
held on a number of specific databases Experian has access to. A record of this process will
be kept but in no way will have an impact on your credit record. External ID Validation checks
cannot be carried out unless the Applicant has provided their consent for the ID to be validated
electronically. Please return this form to the Diocese to enable External ID Validation Check to be processed.

Consent for External ID Validation Check
Dear Sir
You may undertake a search with Experian for the purposes of verifying my identity. To do
so Experian may check the details I supply against any particulars on any databases (public
or otherwise) to which they have access. They may use my details in the future to assist
other companies for verification purposes. A record of the search will be retained.
I understand that my employer will be carrying out this check for the purposes of confirming
my ID as part of the CRB Identity Checking Process. This will be carried out through the
Diocese of Blackburn Registered Body via their service provider Compliance Assist.
The parties involved in this process will keep the Confidential information strictly
confidential and not disclose any part of the same to any person except by or required for
the purposes of obtaining a CRB Disclosure.

Route Three
ALL Organisations conducting an evidence checking process must have exhausted Route
One and should have endeavoured to have accessed an external validation check (Route
Two) before you consider processing them via Route Three.
If the applicant cannot meet the requirements of Route One and Two, you should have had
a probing discussion with them to establish why they could not meet these requirements
and whether there has been a recent or previous change of name that has not been
declared.
For Route Three, the applicant must produce:


Birth certificate (UK and Channel Islands) – (issued after the time of birth by the
General Register Office/relevant authority i.e. Registrars – Photocopies are not
acceptable) and
4 further documents from Group 2 comprising of:
If the applicant fails to produce the required document set at Route Three, they will need to
be sent for fingerprinting by the Police which you should be aware is likely to cause delay to
the CRB application process and subsequently to your recruitment processes.
What if I cannot establish the applicant’s ID using one of the three routes?
If you cannot establish an applicant’s identity in accordance with CRB ID guidelines then you
should mark W59 on the application form with a NO.
Applicants who are unable to provide the required documents will then be asked to give
their consent to have their fingerprints taken in line with the current procedure. Registered
Bodies should be aware that this will require attendance by the applicant at a Police Station
at an appointed time, and may add delay to the overall application process
8
What to do if you cannot satisfy any of the three routes
In the event of an applicant being unable to satisfy any of the three Routes, the Registered
Body should have a probing discussion with the applicant before considering whether to
declare ‘No’ at section W59 of the application form. If the Registered Body has done
everything within reason to acquire the necessary documentation without success, the only
further option is the applicant would need to be fingerprinted which may cause delays. The
DBS are preparing further guidance for such cases which will be communicated along with
the details of the external ID validation service
Changes in the rejection rules
The Countersignatory, or their approved evidence checker, is required to confirm an
applicant’s true identity and respond appropriately to the question at section w59 which
states:
“Have you established the true identity of the applicant, by examining a range of documents
as set out in CRB guidance, and verified the information provided by the applicant in
sections a and b, by completing the verification check boxes?”
Unfortunately, the CRB receives a significant number of applications where the ‘no’ box has
been crossed in response to this question; of which approximately 75% of cases are found
to have been completed in error when the Countersignatory confirms that the ‘yes’ box
should have been crossed.
Therefore, from 3 September 2012, if an application form has a cross at ‘no’ in section w59,
we will return the form immediately to the relevant Countersignatory. This will provide an
opportunity for the Countersignatory to re-check the form or, if appropriate, arrange to
contact the applicant to review if their identity can be validated using CRB guidance.
If you receive a form back and find that you have crossed ‘no’ at w59 in error, or you now
can establish the applicant’s true identity, please cross and circle the ‘yes’ box in this section
and return the application form to be processed as normal.
If you cannot establish the applicant’s true identity using Routes One, Two or Three as
specified in the guidance, then you should leave section w59 unaltered, marked with a ‘no’,
and return the application form to the DBS.
If the applicant cannot provide evidence of their identity, you should advise the applicant
they will be contacted by the DBS to give their consent to attend a police station at an
appointed time to have their fingerprints taken, which will unfortunately delay the overall
application process and, subsequently, your recruitment processes.
9
You should be aware that fingerprinting will not confirm an applicant’s true identity.
Fingerprinting is undertaken to ascertain if the applicant has a criminal record held on the
Police National Computer (PNC) with corresponding fingerprints and cannot determine if
the person has any other record that does not contain fingerprints.
This information needs to be clearly communicated to anyone that is involved in the identity
checking and recruitment processes within all organisations. Countersignatories and
approved evidence checkers need to be particularly vigilant when checking the forms,
especially section w59, prior to sending them to the DBS
10
Identity checking scenarios
Below are a number of scenarios which will demonstrate the documents you may be
presented with as part of the new identity checking process, and how to use the
appropriate route to establish an applicant’s identity.
Please refer to the acceptable document lists contained within the new guidance.
Satisfying Route One
The applicant must produce 3 documents as follows:
address.
Scenario one
John is 17 and is volunteering as a Group Leader with a national organisation working with
5-16 year olds.
He provides the following documents:
bank statement dated within the last month (Group 2b)
John has a Group 1 document (valid UK passport), so the organisation should first
investigate the use of Route One. In addition to this Group 1 document, he also has a
further Group 1 document, and a Group 2b document which confirms his current address. T
Scenario two
Ruth is applying to a local NHS Trust to work as a staff nurse.
She provides the following documents:
ounterpart) (Group 1)
Scenario two
Ruth is applying to a local NHS Trust to work as a staff nurse.
She provides the following documents:
p 1)
Ruth has provided only 2 valid documents. Whilst a TV Licence is now not an acceptable
document for the purposes of identity verification, it could be a useful indicator of what
other documents Ruth may be able to provide. In this case, Ruth’s TV Licence suggests she is
a homeowner or lives in rented accommodation, and she may be able to produce another
11
document such as a council tax statement. Through a combination of the two Group 1
documents provided, and by now questioning Ruth, she can provide a council tax statement
as a Group 2b document which confirms her current address.
Ruth has satisfied the requirements for Route One.
Scenario three
Mohammed is applying to go to teacher training college and is required to undergo a CRB
check as he will be going on school placements.
He provides the following documents:
-month old bank statement (Group 2b).
He is adamant he has no other documents from Groups 1, 2a or 2b.
This combination of documents provides insufficient evidence, and would not satisfy any of
the routes available. The college may wish to advise Mohammed that he could obtain a copy
of his birth certificate (Group 2a) from the General Register Office (GRO) at
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp. If he were to provide this, he
would now have one document from Groups 1, 2a and 2b, and as the bank statement
confirms Mohammed’s current address, this would satisfy the requirements for Route One.
Satisfying Route Two
If the applicant is unable to provide a Group 1 document, then you should proceed to Route
Two. In the first instance, the applicant must produce 3 documents in total:
address.
Once satisfied with these documents, you need to use an appropriate external ID validation
service to establish the applicant’s name and living history footprint.
Full details of how to source an external ID validation provider can be found on pages 6 & 7
of the revised and enhanced ID checking guidelines.
Scenario four
James is 20 years old and applies for a post as a care worker with a supply agency. He
provides the following documentation for identity validation:
ued last month verifying his address (Group 2b)
As James has not provided a Group 1 document, the agency is unable to validate his identity
using Route One. However, he has provided sufficient documents to be processed by Route
Two.
12
A Director of the Agency searches the internet to ascertain which organisations provide an
ID verification service that meets the requirements of a Level 2 (Remote) check. She
contacts a number of service providers before deciding on which one bests suits their needs
e.g. cost and payment method; terms and conditions; timescale; printable or hard copy
result.
Although the organisation does not have any in-depth knowledge of what a “Level 2‟ check
involves, the chosen service provider is in a position to give an assurance that they comply
with the standards described within the published guidance.
The agency has set up the required procedures and is able to progress with James‟
application and verify his identity using Route Two. A “pass” result is provided by the ID
verification service provider and the ID check is complete.
Scenario five
Adrian is applying for the post of a physiotherapist with his local NHS trust.
He is required to undertake a CRB check and provides the following documentation:
As Adrian has no Group 1 document, you are unable to use Route One.
The Registered Body (RB) have sourced an external ID verification service, so they decide to
progress to Route Two.
The result from the ID verification service provider is a “pass”. The RB can be assured that
Adrian’s identity has been verified to the required level and the ID validation process is
complete.
Scenario six
Tahney is a 17 year old school leaver (leaving school in 5 weeks) and is applying for the post
of nursery assistant. She is required to undergo a CRB check and produces the following
documentary evidence:
d the counterpart (Not acceptable)
She is adamant she has no other documents from the list provided that she could use.
Tahney has produced insufficient documents to validate her identity using Route One.
As she has mislaid the counterpart to her driving licence the document is invalid. The RB
would advise her to contact DVLA about this.
Tahney is 17 and still at school and could get a letter from her headmaster confirming her
name, address and any other details they feel appropriate. She does not have sufficient
documents to use Route 2, but after a probing discussion the RB decide to let her get a
13
letter from the headmaster confirming her name and address and agree to process her
through Route Two.
The RB contact the ID verification service provider and the result obtained is a “Fail”. It
would appear that Tahney may not have yet established a living history footprint and they
would now need to consider using Route Three. However, Tahney has now informed them
that she has acquired a replacement counterpart of her driving licence from the DVLA. This
now means she has a Group One document and coupled with her birth certificate and
Building Society statement, the RB may now process by validating her ID using Route One.
Satisfying Route Three
All Registered Bodies must have exhausted Route One and should have endeavoured to use
Route two before considering processing any applicant by Route three.
You should have had a probing discussion with the applicant to establish why they were unable
to be processed by Routes one or two.
Scenario seven
Doris has recently retired, and wishes to volunteer at her local adult care home. She has not
travelled abroad for some time, therefore her passport has expired. She has never driven,
and her birth certificate issued at the time of birth is lost; but she does possess a birth
certificate issued 15 years ago. Therefore, she has no Group 1 documentation, and could not
satisfy the requirements for Route One. She explains that all the household bills are in her
husband’s name. Following a discussion, the Registered Body establishes that Doris can
provide the following documents:
Doris has sufficient documents to satisfy the requirements for Route Two. However, on this
occasion, the Registered Body have been unable to carry out an external ID verification,
despite endeavouring to do so.
As Doris possesses a copy of her birth certificate (Group 2a), we can move on to assessing
her other documents. She has a Marriage Certificate (Group 2a), and also three further
Group 2b documents, one of which verifies her address and therefore she has satisfied
Route Three.
14
Scenario eight
David is applying to work as a volunteer Youth Leader with under 14‟s and has no Group 1
document.
He provides the following documents:
recent credit card statement (Group 2b).
As David has no Group 1 documentation, the Registered Body moves on to Route Two. In
this case, David has sufficient documents to satisfy the requirements for Route Two.
However, on this occasion, the Registered Body carried out an external ID verification which
resulted in a “fail‟.
Having endeavoured to carry out an external validation check without success, and
following a probing discussion with David, the Registered Body would now move on to
Route Three. In order to be able to satisfy Route Three, David would have to obtain a
certified copy of his birth certificate from the General Register Office (GRO) at
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp. Upon doing this, he would
then have sufficient documentation to satisfy Route Three.
What to do next?
In the event of an applicant being unable to satisfy any of the three Routes, you should have
a probing discussion with the applicant before considering whether to declare “No‟ at
section W59 of the application form. If you have done everything within reason to acquire
the necessary documentation without success, the only further option is the applicant
would need to be fingerprinted which may cause delays. Non UK/EEA applicants only
Where an EEA National has been resident in the UK for five years or less, the Registered
Body should validate identity via Route One through the checking of a Current Passport or
Current UK Driving Licence (photo card only) plus two further documents from groups 1, 2a
or 2b; one of which must verify their address.
In the absence of a Group 1 document the Registered Body must satisfy themselves of a
valid reason for using Route 2.
Scenario nine
Agnetha is a Swedish national that has resided in the UK for the last 2 years. She is applying
to a local NHS Trust to work as a consultant. She is required to undergo a CRB check and
provides the following documentation:
one month old bank statement verifying her address (Group 2b)
15
Agnetha has resided in the UK for less than five years and is able to produce a current
passport (Group 1 document). The two further documents enable Agnetha to be processed
by Route One and the document check is complete. 7 Non UK/EEA applicants only
Where an EEA National has been resident in the UK for five years or less, the Registered
Body should validate identity via Route One through the checking of a Current Passport or
Current UK Driving Licence (photo card only) plus two further documents from groups 1, 2a
or 2b; one of which must verify their address.
In the absence of a Group 1 document the Registered Body must satisfy themselves of a
valid reason for using Route 2.
Scenario ten
Pierre is a French national that came to the UK a month ago on his EU identity card. He is
residing with a friend prior to studying here for a year and has volunteered to work with the
local church supporting young people in the community. He is required to undergo a CRB
check and produces the following documents:
Pierre has not produced a Group 1 document and therefore he cannot be processed using
Route One. The Registered Body has a case conference and decides that the option of using
Route Two may not yield a “pass‟ result as he has never lived in the UK and is unlikely to
have a sufficient living history footprint to successfully validate his identity.
They discuss the issues with Pierre and establish that he does possess a valid French
passport which his mother has in his family home in Bordeaux. He agrees to get her to post
this to him.
However, the bank statement confirms his previous French address; and he advises that he
intends to open a bank account in the UK. Pierre returns 10 days later with the following
documentation:
A bank statement from a French bank issued four weeks ago (Group 2b)
Pierre can now be processed by the use of Route One as he has provided more than
sufficient evidence and the documentation check is complete.
Non UK/Non-EEA applicants only
All Non-EEA Nationals should be validated via Route One only.
16
Scenario 11
Pauline is an Australian national and has applied to come to the UK to work for an NHS
Trust. The application for her CRB is processed by the NHS Trust prior to Pauline coming
over to the UK – She provides the following documentation to a representative of the Trust
in Sydney:
rom the Trust verifying Pauline’s current address. (Group 2b)
Pauline has a Group 1 document and 2 further documents from Groups 2a and 2b which
enables the RB to process her application through Route One.
Scenario 12
Javeed is an Indian national and has been living in the UK for two years. He has a year to run
on his work permit and applies to work in a private school teaching special needs. The
school requires Javeed to undergo a CRB check and he produces the following
documentation:
ss (Group
2b)
Javeed has not provided sufficient evidence to be processed by the use of Route One. As he
is a non-UK/non-EEA applicant, he may not be processed other than by Route One.
You explain to Javeed that if he is not able to provide a Group One document, the only
option would be for him to go for fingerprinting at a local Police station which would result
in a delay to the CRB process.
Javeed accepts that he should not have mislaid his passport and has suggested that he
request a new passport from the Indian embassy. He returns a few days later with a new
valid Indian passport which now enables you to process his application through Route One.
* If you or your ID checker cannot establish an applicant’s identity in accordance with CRB ID
guidelines then you should mark w59 on the application form with a ‘NO’. Applicants who
are unable to provide the required documents will then be asked to give their consent to
have their fingerprints taken in line with the current procedure. Registered Bodies should be
aware that this will require attendance by the applicant at a Police Station at an appointed
time, and may add delay to the overall application process. The following scenario highlights
the fingerprinting process.
Scenario 13
Andrew is 18 years old and is applying for the position of an Assistant Care Worker in a local
Care Home. The Care Home uses the services of an Umbrella Body to process their CRB
Checks. He provides the following documentation to the Care Home:
17
statement issued 2 months ago.
The bank statement is an acceptable Group 2b document, but the mobile phone bill can‟t
be accepted. Andrew has insufficient documentary evidence and the Umbrella Body return
the completed application form to the Care Home requesting further documentary
evidence. The Care Home Manager discusses with Andrew and he is adamant he has no
other documents contained on the valid identity documents list.
The Umbrella Body submit the application to CRB and indicate “No‟ at w59 – They have not
established the true identity of the applicant.
In the first instance, the CRB return the form to the Umbrella Body, in line with the rejection
procedure applied from 03 September 2012; the reason being that they had indicated „No‟
at w59 on the form.
The Umbrella Body contact the Care Home and they in turn contact Andrew direct and
explain that if he fails to produce any further documentary evidence, the only alternative
will be to have him sent for fingerprinting at a local police station – This will delay his
application.
Andrew is once again adamant he can’t provide anything further, so the form is returned to
the CRB.
This time, Andrew’s form is processed to CRB‟s Customer Services where he is requested to
attend a police station at a given time. He is asked to complete a consent form and produce
three identical size photographs with his name clearly written on the back of each
photograph with his customer reference.
Andrew attends the police station at the given time and the result is that there is “no
match‟ against all records that are checked and held by the police and other law
enforcement agencies.
A clear CRB certificate is issued – It should be noted:
process took considerably longer than normal.
ndrew’s identity – It just provides
evidence that the police were unable to match the fingerprints against any records they
searched.
