CRB check

[hammerman]

My daughter is 9 and i've been asked by her teacher if i can set a quiz for her class next thursday, which will coincide with the class's day of fun and xmas party. There are a few other parents going in from 1pm until 3pm too.

But i've not been asked for a CRB check in any way. I also help run the kids after school football team with my daughter's teacher....and again have not been asked for a CRB ?

As it would happen, i do have a "live" CRB which i had to get before getting a foreign student....would this suffice for the school ? (they don't know i have it yet)

Any advice on this would be very helpful.

even though its live it would depend on the age of your crb.

CRB Disclosures do not carry a pre-determined period of validity because a conviction or other matter could be recorded against the subject of the Disclosure at any time after it is issued.

If you are asked to apply for a Disclosure and you already have one for a previous role; ask if the organisation is willing to accept it. When making this decision the organisation will take into account the length of time that has elapsed since that Disclosure was issued; the level of Disclosure; the nature of the position for which the Disclosure was issued; and the nature of the position for which you are now applying. Ultimately, it will be the organisation�s decision whether to accept it or not.

usually the crb is only for that particular school.my wife helps out at both our sons school and at our daughters playschool and she had to have a crb check for both of them.

you only need a crb check if you are going to be alone with the children
