Answer 1

A background check or credit check.  You won't lose any money if they don't offer you the job.

Answer 2

It's a Criminal Records Bureau check. Standard Disclosures show current and spent convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings held on the Police National Computer.  If the post involves working with children or vulnerable adults, the following may also be searched:

Protection of Children Act (POCA) List

Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) List

Information that is held under Section 142 of the Education Act 2002 (formerly known as List 99)



(Enhanced Disclosures contain the same information as the Standard Disclosure but with the addition of any relevant and proportionate information held by the local police forces.)

The way it works is you sign a request form which the employer sends off. then the CRB sends the details to the employer with a copy to you. There is a fee.

Answer 3

Criminal records check.

Answer 4

Standard disclosure mean the release of information about a person or entity of a corporarion, the filling of documents and statements required by law.

Answer 5

Are you in Scotland? In Scotland a standard disclosure is just a Disclosure Scotland form that you fill in and give to your employer for them to send away, Disclosure Scotland will then send them and you a Disclosure certificate with any previous criminal convictions you've had listed (including traffic offences). If you're not in Scotland then perhaps there's just a similar thing for England and Wales, I can't think what else it could be
