Welcome to the ARC Disclosure Service

The ARC Disclosure Service has been registered to carry out Standard and Enhanced checks with the Disclosure and Barring Service in England and Wales since the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) was first established by the Home Office in 2002.

Carrying out criminal record checks allows you to make safer hiring decisions.   We specialise in providing fast and efficient checks and aim to make the process as simple as possible.

We support both large and small employers, mainly in the Health and Social Care Sector, throughout the UK, to obtain checks on behalf of their employees. If your organisation also works in Scotland or Northern Ireland, please contact us to find out more about our Disclosure Service in those countries.

There are no set up charges and competitive administration fees, with discounted administration fees for ARC Members. Once registered, we provide your organisation with access to the relevant system with no contract or minimum checking requirements. This means you are able to request checks as and when you need them.
