its my belief when an employeer sends for your CRB, the reply comes to your home as you have to send it off in your name and address. Is this the case?

Is a CRB the same as a Disclosure? If so, I've had several done, and they all come to my address, but are forwarded to the company who asked for one. All clear, I may add ;-) You can apply for your own Disclosure online, so that would be one way of finding out what's on record.

I'm sure that you're entitled to see what's on your criminal record, but I don't know how to access it directly or how much it would cost.

I think employers are only told if its clear or not, they don't see a copy

If you have a CRB (or disclosure application), a copy is automatically sent to both parties.

http://www.crb.gov.uk

This does have details of all any convictions, which the employer can then use to make a decision. (Someone who has been convicted for dangerous driving is a different offence to child abuse, so not much good not knowing what the conviction was for!)

You may want to have a look at the following: http://www.crb.gov.uk/Default.aspx?page=381

An individual cannot carry out a CRB check, must be an agency/organisation. In addition the CRB does not recommend 'portability' of a CRB check, so its only as good as the day it is carried out. So if you get one done today, an employer make not accept it in 6 months time.

I don't know if there is another way of you finding out about your criminal record though, I'm sorry. Perhaps someone else can help with that?

You can apply for a CRB check for yourself, it is not true that this must be applied for by an organsiation. Applicants for a Personal Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 are required to supply a Basic CRB check with their applications. This is not available from CRB England but can be obtained online from CRB Scotland. Last time I looked, it was �20. Go to www.disclosuresscotland.co.uk.
