The CRB check will show if they have any convictions, also if there is any intelligence held on them from the Police National Computer, the Dept for Education and Skills or List 99 (List 99 is a sensitive and confidential document and access to it is strictly limited to individuals responsible for checking the suitability of applicants. The purpose of List 99 is to enable employers to safeguard against employing a barred person. It should be emphasised that not all those on the list are perceived to be a danger to children).

It's a good way of safeguarding against those with a history, as it is a background check. It can do little to assist with someone who has no history of such behaviour.
