A CRB check is a type of criminal record check issued by the Criminal Records Bureau. In 2012, CRB checks were replaced by DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checks.
CRB checks/DBS checks are a record of an person's cautions, final warnings, reprimands and convictions (spent and unspent) and helps employers to make safer recruitment decisions.
The CRB (criminal Records Bureau) was replaced by the DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) in 2012 so DBS checks have replaced CRB checks.

A standard DBS Check includes:
An enhanced DBS Check includes:
Cautions, final warnings and reprimands become eligible for filtering once 6 years have passed (2 if the applicant was under 18 at the time of caution) provided the offence was not on the 'DBS list of offences that will never be filtered from a criminal record check'
A conviction will be eligible for filtering provided:
If any applicant has more than once conviction offence, all of their convictions will show on a DBS check.
The 'DBS list of offences that will never be filtered from a criminal record check' is available on the Disclosure and Barring Service website and includes more serious/violent/sexual crimes.
Prior to the introduction of the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) in 2012, a CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check was used in England and Wales by employers to check an applicant's criminal history during the recruitment process.

No, an employee warning will not appear on a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check. CRB checks only show details of an individualβs criminal record, if any. Non-criminal issues like employee warnings or performance reviews are not disclosed in a CRB check.
Convictions that resulted in custodial sentences will always show up on a DBS check (DBS checks replaced CRB checks in 2012).
Allegations alone do not go on your Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) check. Only convictions, cautions, reprimands, and final warnings are included in a standard or enhanced DBS check. However, investigations could be carried out based on allegations, and the outcome of these investigations may impact your CRB check.
