Criminal Records Bureau Checks
Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) Policy
Everyone over the age of 16 who is coaching or helping with any children or young adults under the age of 18 must have a Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) check. Information is completely confidential and the outcome of the check is returned confidentially from the bureau to the individual.
In 2009 the laws are even tighter on this issue and we must have everyone cleared before becoming involved.
CRB checks are easy and last 3 years.
Form completion and evidence checks take between 5 - 10 minutes if you know your National Insurance number. You will need to provide either your Passport or Driving licence (photocard or paper), and 2 other forms of current name and address identification, eg current utility bill, current bank statement, current TV license, store card statement etc.
You can have your checks done here by any one of three Safgeguarding Officers appearing on the Safeguarding Home Page between the hours of 10.45 and 12.00 every Sunday throughout September and then on the last Sunday in every month thereafter until the end of season. Safeguarding Officers carry club radios so if they are not in the bar ask the bar staff to radio them.
Please see Jo Lawrence if you need any further advice.
