Its more beneficial for those working on residential homes or homes that have vulnerable adults or children in their care..

For example if you were to work on someones house who was a foster carer or adoption parent, technically you should be crb checked to be able to work at the house!

Or is there a way round this?

Do you mean just make up a company name and submit the application?

I was thinking of asking a friend with their own business to do it for me.
