In the UK we have the &#x27;Disclosure and Barring Service&#x27; (which used to be the &#x27;Criminal Records Bureau&#x27;, but there are now a bunch of non crime (or non conviction) reasons you might be on the barred list) which will perform a background check which discloses any convictions and any allegations of sexual abuse.
