How many people hold a CRB?

[Goose]

Don't think this has been polled before, and always wanted to do one of these!

I know there are quite a few leaders, teachers, instructors etc of various subjects on the site and was just wondering how many people nowadays have CRB certificates.

I hold a couple, for work and for scouts, both enhanced type.(Don't actually know anyone who has one that isn't enhanced!)

I have at least one. probably two at the moment. One for my student mental health nurse training and one for my job as a forensic mental health nursing assistant.

Standard issue in my industry (museums/heritage education) but remenber they really only mean anything on the day they are issued, they can muddy the water a bit if thats all propective employers rely on, they are probably better with a check and seeking decent references as to how you conducted yourself on previous jobs/trips/wossname.

Essential in my line of work - coaching canoeing, youth exped leadership and relief care work as well as my church work.

Armed Viking visiting schools....You can bet I need one....

got out of the youth thing before they became an issue (though i probably need one if i started teaching Kids to Scuba Dive)

but i know a releif teacher who has to fill one out every time she changes school regardless of if its the same county or even a previous worked at school
does that mean if you have one for say scouts in hampshire you need another one for something else or Scouts in a differnt region ??

In theory it needs to be applied for by your employer. Change employer, need new CRB.

In practice that is completely impractical for a freelancer like me so I applied through one of the organizations that takes bookings for me and produce that certificate whenever it is requested. Which so far has only been once.

I think that multiple CRB's are issued so that companies/organisations have an as up to date check as possible. There's the possibility that you're re-checked to make sure you haven't moved because you've done something illegal and are trying to cover your tracks - the check can only be accurate up to the date it was issued.

Hi all, if a CRB certificate is the same as a Disclosure Scotland Certificate then I have one for helping with Scouts My wife holds three, one for work, one for scouts and one for Sunday School. I don't really understand why one search and one certificate will not suffice for all organisations. It seems to be a bit of a job-creation scheme
Cheers,
Doug.

Got mine for occasional helping out with Scouts.

Funny thing is I would need another one if I helped out with the Guides in the same building.

See now that's the problem with schools now. Perhaps discipline wouldn't be such a problem with more armed Vikings in classrooms...

Funnily enough, I do get very few problems of that sort.

Can't think why...

[BushTucker]

I do, I have to in my line of work.

I do hold the most enhanced Disclosure Scotland check you can get and have regular ones done due to my vocation. I am unemployable without this as well as without registration
