Hi

I'm increasingly getting jobs in playgroups & old peoples homes. Nobody
has asked yet, but I think a CRB check could be a good thing.

I am, of course, as pure as the driven snow in thought & deed.

How do I get one sorted? Anyone know?

I also work in these sort of environments, as a self employed external
contractor you do not need a CRB check, indeed you cannot apply for one
yourself, only employers (& certain charities/NGO's and voluntary
organisations) can do so. Furthermore the CRB is only 'valid' for that
employer, if you move employers the CRB doesn't transfer with you, the new
employer would have to apply for a further check. I've been in many
Nursing/Residential & private hospitals and never had an issue - had some
tools nicked though !! presumably by the CRB checked staff. Oh well.
