Answer

Tables (i), (ii) and (iii) provide the total funding allocated to the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA), Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), by the Home Office for the last eight financial years.

The figures for the ISA and CRB are provided up to 1 December 2012 when these organisations ceased to exist, following the creation of the DBS.

Data is only partially available prior to 2008-09 and cannot be obtained without incurring a disproportionate cost.

Table (i) - ISA

April – 30 Nov 2012	2011-12	2010-11	2009-10	2008-09
£m	£m	£m	£m	£m
8.5	12.3	12.9	13.7	11.7

Table (ii) – CRB*

April – 1 Dec 2012	2011-12	2010-11	2009-10	2008-09
£m	£m	£m	£m	£m
2.5	1.9	4.1	11.4	2.9

Table (iii) – DBS*

2014-15	2013-14	1 Dec – Mar 2012-13
£m	£m	£m
11.1	22.1	5.4

*The CRB and DBS are self funding, the figures therefore relate to the Home Office capital allocation to CRB and DBS. The ISA figures relate to the Grant in Aid provided by the Home Office. It is important to note that, as fee-funded organisations, the CRB and DBS receive the majority of their income from fees.

Table (iv) provides the average number of full time equivalent staff the DBS, ISA and CRB employed during each of the last eight financial years.

Table (iv)

Staff numbers	2014-15	2013-14	Dec – Mar 2012-13	Apr – Dec 2012-12*	2011-12	2010-11	2009-10	2008-09
DBS	745	721	730
ISA				268	272	287	255	144
CRB				483	542	667	614	569

2015-16 data for the DBS is due to be published shortly.
