I have one as I am a Scout Leader. I am very pleased to see that so many of you have taken the trouble to get one so that you can help with Scouts. It's getting harder and harder to get people to help out with Scouts.

I didn't know I had a CRB advanced until my renewal form came through, How could I have not known I have had one for nearly three years, I guess it is part of the SIA licence application

i have recently had a disclosure scotland for my sia license , supposedley everyone working in the security ind had to have one of these before november last year or face a criminal conviction.now one year on most of the security in pubs ,clubs etc still don,t have these and i can,t see this being monitored anywhere .i have to say the sia could not cope with the volume of applicants to have this done for last year.i am a bit sceptical about this and think it is a money spinner

Called - Disclosure Scotland Checks
If I move schools, all with the same employer, I need one for each move. Since I have been at school for 11 years not had one since 2nd Year of the BEd I did.

They only matter if they are updated yearly or when moving/starting a job. Different up here in Scotland.

i have completed six of these since 2001 all the enhanced one for working with minors they are a reasonable thing but all the form filling starts to get a bit on the silly side some sort of central database where you get a number and then every time you need a new check it happens and you have no need to get all your papers out copy them and hand them over might be a good idea god knows how many copies of mt passport are kicking around in various offices!!!. couple the number with some sort of biometrics a finger print would do it and the hole ting would be reasonable secure.

it could be going somewhere?

hehe i held a crb back in 01/02 whilst i was busy dealing WITH ALL YOUR CENSUS FORMS!
ever since that time i can't look an oracle database in the same way. the HORROR!

yeah so i had to be CRB'd to work there, and only certain people were allowed in the Northern irland section and they were vetted heavily!

nowt for kids mind but i doubt there's much i can teach a kid except some fingerstyle (guitar) and perhaps the odd dirtly limerick ;)

I have a CRB disclosure for working in England and Wales, and a seperate one for working in Scotland.

Move jobs and updating certificate is now really easy - all you do is fill in your last form and they just do the checks starting from the date of issue - none of this 'all the way back' carp they used to have to do.
