The procedures of the CRB were tightened following the Soham murders trial. Ian Huntley, a former caretaker, was found guilty of murdering two girls of a Cambridge shire primary school in 2002. Huntley had been suspected of a string of offences including rape, indecent assault and burglary, resulting from this cases where staff had been employee by schools before a full CRB check had been carried out, the Department for Education stated: "Employers should obtain a CRB Enhanced Disclosure in respect of all teachers they recruit before the person is placed in a school." Huntley had been hired in November 2001, before the CRB came into force.
