Aaron’s Department’s online CRB system, allows you to
check criminal records with ease,
The system is for the use of employers and charities with people working, or seeking to work, in high risk positions,
especially those that involve working with Children or Adults.
Our online system connects directly to the UK Governments gateway for your peace of mind.
Once you have registered and your account has been activated, you can quickly and easily add applicants and invite
them to do their own CRB Checking online. With a built in error checker and free
support on offer, your applications can be completed with ease and minimal disruption to your day.
Our online CRB system has built in CRB Tracking. This enables you to log in at any stage of an application's process and see at exactly what stage the CRB check is at. This can prove invaluable when you need to get a new member of staff into work.
We offer fast free registration, no contract and free guidance and support from our highly trained DBS specialists. Registering is open to any company or charity eligible to ask “an exempted question”.
An exempted question is a valid request for a person to reveal their full criminal history, including spent convictions.
Aaron's Departments online service is only available to a company or charity who as laid down in The Rehabilitation of
Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 are entitled to ask an individual to reveal their full criminal history,
including spent convictions also known as asking an exempted question.

DBS Adult First is a service provided by the
Criminal Records Bureau
that can be used
in cases where, exceptionally, and in accordance with the terms of Department of Health guidance, a person is permitted to start
work with adults before a DBS Certificate has been obtained. This applies to adult services such as care homes,
Domiciliary care agencies and adult placement schemes where DBS Certificates are required by law.
The Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) merged to become the Disclosure and Barring
Service (DBS). CRB checks are now called DBS checks. A DBS check is a criminal record check carried out by employers or
organisations on prospective applicants, current staff members, visitors, volunteers, prospective foster carers, adoption
applicants etc. to check their eligibility to work with or be in contact with children or vulnerable adults.
Our online DBS application service removes the printing and posting of standard paper forms which is more environmentally
friendly and also significantly speeds up the process, getting applicants into work quicker.
All applications and payments are sent securely via encryption for privacy of information and security.
