As title how do you get checked out and get paper work to show you haven't got a criminal record?

Local Police station?

Thanks lee.

How do you check if online company is real and not a scam?
Don't want to fall foul to id fraud.

Lee,

The company we use for CRB checks is 'Personnel Checks' based in Accrington, last time I used them it cost around £40 per person.

And unless its changed recently you will only be eligible to do the 'Basic Search'

Its now called a DBS check. My sons school need me to have one before I can volunteer for any activities, helping out etc. Very useful for work as well!

Unless you can get a limited company to do one for you, try volunteering for something.
If you 'need' one though, the company asking should carry it out

We had our guys disclosure checked late last year as a new contract that we'd started for a council requested it.

Alistair,
http://www.personnelchecks.co.uk/crb-checks/basic-disclosure-scotland-criminal-record-checks/

This is the company you use?
Thanks feel better using someone recommended.

Richy crb or now dbs is a certificate showing you have no criminal convictions.
As i understand it being an individual applying for yourself you can only apply for the basic crb(dbs)
This will show no spent convictions as they say meaning i take it old criminal convictions after a certain time will not appear.

I have a clean sheet ;)
I thought that having CRB checked on leaflets and website would be a good thing.
From a cynical point of view this certificate would only insure that you had been a good citizen up to the day of it's issue :-\

But on the whole i think it's a good thing.
CRB, insured, smartly dressed etc.
Got to help ;D

Thanks everyone
