There are three types of check:

Basic – this checks for unspent criminal conviction information only and incurs a charge to the Parish
Enhanced – this checks for spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warnings plus any additional information held by the police that's reasonably considered relevant to the role being applied for
Enhanced with barring list checks – this is like the enhanced check, but includes a check of the DBS barred child and/or adult lists.

The House of Bishops has decided that criminal record checks must be renewed every three years.

Should there ever be a delay in obtaining the criminal record check, the person is not approved by the Church to act and must stand down pending completion of the process.
