Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks were replaced by Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks in 2012. 'Not Guilty' verdicts no longer appear on DBS checks but other acquittals still do. In the case of a quashed conviction appearing, it will always state the disposal (i.e. 'acquitted').
Quashed convictions are typically not listed on standard background checks such as CRB or Police Checks, as they are considered legally invalid and treated as if they never happened. However, it is advisable to disclose the quashed conviction if asked directly.
