and doesn't this make you feel secure - All civil servants and Capita staff must be cleared to Government security standards. The Home Office Departmental Security Unit undertakes these checks. In addition, all civil servant CRB staff who are responsible for seeing and handling the sensitive Disclosure information are checked to the same level as Enhanced Disclosure. Only civil servants have access to the sensitive information held by the police and other data sources reported on the Disclosure. The CRB carries out checks on the employees of the data processing companies contracted to it. Some staff have been vetted by the Government security services. Others are vetted by their employer. In any event, the contractors are under a legal obligation to ensure their staff respect the confidential nature of the information released to them by an applicant. you are here: home / Common Questions ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Lane" <tel@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <modeleng@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 7:18 PM Subject: [modeleng] Re: crb > just found it > > http://www.crb.gov.uk/ > > This is a worrying tend.
