Yep,
Even needed seperate ones when I was doing stuff with 2 different schools in the same village!
A nice little earner for those doing the checks!
Where I work any member of staff that might come into contact with children
or vulnerable adults while on our holidays or charity challenges has to have this,
so I got one.

For the few people who ticked "whats a CRB?", It stands for Criminal Records Bureau and is required for, amongst other things, working with children or vulnerable adults. You fill in the form and send it off then you are checked for any convictions, and this is accepted as evidence you have none basically. It is better than the old system of just asking!

I would include the Disclosure Scotland(or NI or wales I suppose?) as a CRB for the sake of this poll.
I had guessed about half the members had a CRB check, it is even higher than I thought. If people have a CRB, you can't really apply for one yourself you need to be a registered body, it may help when asking for permission to use scout camps, just a thought for people looking for somewhere to go!

Needed a CRB for photographing a kids swimming competition couple of years ago.
I work for police now as a photog, so guess i've had a enhanced check.

Got one for the local county concil of Orebro in Sweden when I worked with kids, one when I went for my National Service, one when I got employed as a specialist instructor in the Armed Forces, one when I got my Security Guard Licence and one enhanced for work in security on Nucelar Power Plants, in other words, one once a year between 2000 and 2005.
Why is thead in meet ups and social chatter
The question arose whilst arranging a meet up, I had guessed just over half ( it was a little higher at the meet) held a CRB cert. The poll doesn't actually mean anything but it can give you a working figure if asked when using for example a scout site for a meet up.
You have to have one in Nursing, but why the question in the first place or have I missed something?
Sorry rik, my fault.
I asked the initial question in a thread about holding a midlands meet on a scout campsite. In the past the site in question has required that all adults (18+) who camp were CRB checked (or before the CRB was set up were police checked) and as I wasn't certain as to current policy I asked the question - no point organising everything and then being told that all adults need that bit of paper which says you're deemed safe to be unsupervised around minors and others who might be considered vulnerable.

Ah, Rik, you should have one in nursing. But there was a quiet stink about a year back when it came to light that some Trusts had not bothered with people that had worked there for years (an estimated 30% of staff I vaguely recall)..............cost saving.
I know not everyone has one but when asked and being able to say over half the adults hold CRB certs and as there would be no direct contact with Children may sway a desicion in our favour, but be prepared to bring certs along if requested. We are all aware that CRB certs protect nobody except managers really, but it is the managers that make decisions about who can and can't use areas.
I appologise in advance if this comes over as overly argumentative as that really isn't my intention.
I was regular service crew (now occasional) of the site in the initial thread and I can absolutely and categorically say that at that time a CRB was a definate requirement - if people camped without one it was without our knowledge. I can also say that I escorted non-CRB'd people to the main exit on more than a few occasions. If someone phoned up at the eleventh hour and no minors were on/booked to be on site the rules could be bent though
I don't know whether the policy on CRB checks has altered; which is why I suggested that the question was asked.

Full enhanced CRB and Security Certificate for erm, certain documents need for one of my last jobs with the MOD.
As far as i know they are still valid, well i know for sure the Developed SC check cert is for at least 10 years. Will need to check on the CRB
