The Criminal Records Trade Body (CRTB) are pleased to be hosting the fourth in a series of live events aimed at providing insightful updates on the Criminal Record Checking industry in the UK.

This event will shine a light on the progress of various Digital Identity movements within background screening, featuring Alison McDowell of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS), and Mark Sugden of the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS), as keynote speakers.

The main purpose for this event is to provide the industry an overview of Digital Identity in this space, as well as a guide as to how this could affect registered bodies (RBs):

  • An overview of the DCMS Trust Framework
  • An insight into the DBS’ Digital Identity project
  • A review of what RBs should know about movements in Digital Identity

In addition to this, we will provide attendees with a brief overview of the positive work the CRTB are carrying out in collaboration with all UK CRC Agencies to further the UK’s safeguarding agenda.

We look forward to welcoming you to our fourth live, online event.
