Indian firm will help clear backlog of criminal checks

The Criminal Records Bureau has confirmed an Indian company will
help clear a backlog of applications.

Hays Plc, based in Madras, will undertake data entry work, but
disclosure checks will still be carried out in the UK. The CRB is
confident that it will meet its public service standards –
for 90 per cent of enhanced applications to be turned around in 3
weeks, and 95 per cent of standard applications in 1 week –
from July.
