Correct CRB Checks

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please can you answer the Freedom of Information Act request below.

Please can you tell me how the Criminal Records Bureau ensures that
a first time applicant is not mixed up with another person who has
the same or similar personal information. For example, there may be
several Joe Bloggs living in a particular city, area, even street,
with a similar or the same date of birth.

Also, can you tell me what the procedure is for an application from
a person who shares the same details as somebody else? For example,
if you received an application from Joe Bloggs who was born on
01/01/1980 but by coicidence there was another Joe Bloggs with the
same date of birth living in the same city, area or street etc.

Can you also tell me of occasions when applicants have received a
copy of their disclosure and found it to be incorrect. For example,
containing convictions that were incorrect or had been placed on a
person's record by mistake. Can you also tell me if it is possible
to have an incorrect record changed or information removed.

Yours faithfully,

Nathan Winter
