Title: Crminal Record Checks
Post by: Timmy Boy on November 30, 2006, 04:00:37 pm: All
I have just had an incident where a purse has gone missing at one of my sites (keyholder). The police have been contacted and have asked me what our vetting procedures are. I informed them that we do the normal reference checks but thats it. Do any of you do any more than this?

Regards
Tim

if this person is guilty CHOP HIS HAND OFF >:(
hope this helps,john.

You could try looking on your local council website.

I was CRB checked 4 times in 2 years when I first moved up here as I used to work as a teaching asstistant but I was only voluntary so to raise some money I used to work as a dinner lady and although I had already been CRB checked to work in the class I had to be CRB checked again even though it was the same school because it was 7mths old, then about 9mths later I was an exam envigilator at the local secondary school and they CRB checked me too.

So although getting CRB checked yourself seems like a good idea from my experience if your CRB is over 6mths old it won't mean much.

I wouldnt mind but im probably one of the most honest people you'll ever meet lol.

Hi Lisa,
This is from the website above

The current legislation does not allow the self-employed or individuals to apply for a CRB check on themselves. In addition, parents who employ a nanny/au pair/babysitter directly cannot apply for a CRB check; however, if an agency supplies the nanny/au pair/babysitter, the agency is entitled to carry out a CRB check.
