The Criminal Records Bureau
Terry M. Thomas · Palgrave Macmillan UK eBooks · 2007
A month before issuing its third and final 1993 circular on disclosure arrangements, the Home Office started a complete review of all aspects of criminal record disclosure for purposes of pre-employment screening. Over the next 10 years the 1993 review would lead us to the Police Act 1997 and ultimately the CRB, which spluttered into life in 2002. The whole exercise would take criminal record disclosures to a new level with localised arrangements being replaced by a national agency, and a service free at the point of delivery, turned into a multi-million pound industry with its own monthly customer newsletter called Disclosure News .
