I don't think so, unless you are a Registered Body with DBS (the new name for the CRB)

Why do you want to? If your employee is going to drive your cab he will need a disclosure through the local authority. If you are concerned about his past, ask to see his copy of the disclosure.

He could get a Basic Disclosure from Disclosure Scotland (but not an enhanced disclosure).

I think Fraser is right you have to be registered with the DBS.

If youre worried he is on his librarys blacklist for not paying his overdue fines you wont have much joy there :lol:

You have to ask the person to produce a certificate.

They need to contact the DBS and get said certificate.

Then they can show it to you if they want.

Leicestershire escort badges last 12 months, car owners have to pay £44 for a CRB

Staffordshire's dont expire and the county council pay for CRB's

My LO knows little about the new system, he's read about it but doesn't understand it! Usual gobbledegook to use his term.

The council can't take a bean from you, you must register yourself.
