I have a current CRB (to be updated next week) as an adult education tuor I work with children and vulnerable adults...........
I would like to point a few things out that have come up in previous posts and if they have already been mentioned further on my appologies........
It would seem that some of the bodies some of you work for are a little ignorant of the facts or chose to disregard them.....
My CRB is as mention for education and is enhanced, in this case it is permissable for my information to be passed to a second education establishment and this is the only scenario when this may be done as far as I'm aware, so the poster that had two checks in the education service didn't need two!
CRB checks are not transferable, but another body may if they wish to, accept the first and save doing a second, ergo the poster with one for the scouts and one elsewhere didn't actually need a second one althought its obviuos some bodies choose to have them done anyway, especiall voluntary bodies as they get them carried out for free.
A police check is in over and above a CRB and therefore having the former current negates having the later although some bodies will still chose do have them done to ensure they don't have to do it later should the Police Check "run out " and not be renewed.
My CRB is accepted not only for my work in schools colleges etc for my employment but also for 3 local haelth authorities and a voluntary body I also work for.......
As for individuals, yes you can get a CRB check. CRB checks are done through a registration body.....an employer (if they have sufficient staff may be registered as such...NHS/Local Authority/etc..) or smaller companies/voluntary bodies and individuals can apply via a company which is set up do carry out checks.
And as stated they are in fact out of date by the time they are in your hand!
I hope the above is helpfull to someone and not confusing to anyone
