WHAT IS ACCESS NI?

AccessNI is the criminal history disclosure service in Northern Ireland. By law some employers must check your criminal history before they recruit. When asked by these employers, AccessNI supplies criminal history information about job applicants, volunteers and employees.

Criminal history disclosure

A criminal history check is also known as a disclosure. AccessNI searches your details against UK criminal records and police information. These searches may disclose any criminal history to certain employers and organisations. AccessNI produces a disclosure certificate for every check.

AccessNI checks

An AccessNI check is a criminal history record check, which provides different levels of information about an individual. There are three levels of check:

• A basic check contains details of all convictions considered to be unspent, or states that no convictions were found.
• A standard check contains details of all spent and unspent convictions and relevant cautions.
• An enhanced check contains the same information as a standard check as well as a check of police records held locally and, for positions working with children and vulnerable adults, may include information held by the Disclosure and Barring Service.

What happens to my application once it is sent to Cricket Ireland?
