Free Criminal Record Check
EDIT - PLEASE DO NOT COME ON HERE EXPECTING TO BE ABLE TO FIND OUT SOMEONE'S CRIMINAL BACKGROUND OR ASKING IF THERE IS ANYWHERE YOU CAN GET A FREE CRIMINAL RECORD CHECK - THIS CANNOT BE DONE AND YOU WOULD BE WASTING YOUR TIME.
Where is a website that does a totally free criminal record check on a person of your choice? Thank You |
Re: Free Criminal Record Check
I wouldn't think there would be one for all manner of data protection and privacy reasons.
Certain jobs can have applicants vetted by going through a government agency but I don't think criminal records are available to the general public. |
Re: Free Criminal Record Check
If you run a business/organisation that requires employees to have a CRB check done the employees/potential employees have to complete a form which you provide and apply themselves. More details here

Re: Free Criminal Record Check
Any individual can get a Basic Criminal Record check on-line through Disclosure Scotland.
Whilst not free (£20) it is available to anyone with a UK address and does not show 'spent' convictions. You can also obtain a copy of all convictions recorded on the Police National Computer by application to your nearest Police Station. It takes up to 40 days and costs £10 per person. Download forms from the web site of your local Police authority. I should add the info. available is that which applies to the applicant only (you have to give ID proofs). |

I have worked for three different defence companies, and have been cleared to BC, SC, DV and "some others" above that level. The information regarding any criminal convictions including details of spent ones are placed in a sealed envelope for the vetting agency. This information is never disclosed to the company applying for the security clearance. I thought this was due to civil liberty reasons, the vetting agency does not reject anyone for a criminal record as far as I know apart from Treason or professional malpractice. I'm not sure how a CRB check going to any old Tom, Dick or Harry company would be allowed to disclose conviction details to an employer. |
Re: Free Criminal Record Check
Don't forget that the Rehabilition of Offenders Act (Spent Convictions) does not apply in some circumstances..

Re: Free Criminal Record Check
It has always seems strange to me that you can attend court and obtain the names of the defendants and details of the cases as they are going on and newspapers print the stories.
Why though is this not listed on a web as a searchable database, I don't see how it has anything to do with data protection. I have been looking for details on someone locally, I have found a newspaper report from a court case where he stabbed someone 3 years ago, so what would be the difference if that info was available on the court website? |
Re: Free Criminal Record Check
Join the police if you want information like that.
You can apply for a subject access report from the police records it will cost around 10 quid. I had to submit one as i work for TNT but you can't get one in someone elses name or find out about another person. That information is not for public access. |

On the other hand it might be useful to show a bit more transparency in the process letting the public see what people are charged with and how its resolved. It would also let them see sentencing overall rather than just the headline cases. Personally I think it should be more open. I'd be happy to see the courts entire business displayed which would show how many people don't turn up, have cases delayed or plead guilty at the last moment to get the reduction in sentence. |

Basically it's done a full circle, nothing has changed from when the old system was used a few years ago before Ian Huntly went on his murdering spree, like I mentioned above when the police used to do them on their own the system was much quicker, it used to take 10 days at the most to get your records back, the government have created a new department run by Centrica making millions of pounds each year from people who need these enahnced CRB checks to enable them to work, I'd sooner give the money to the police, they could make better use of it. Most of you will have heard of Centrica they are the ones who make billions of pounds a year running government departments. ---------- Post added at 18:52 ---------- Previous post was at 18:49 ---------- Quote:
