crb & disclosure website

[Ruthierhyme]

I've just revisited this/these site ~ it was relaunched in Dec 05 because having 2 seperate websites was causing great confusion ... what I hadn't realised is that the now one website, still allows you to browse under each each original title name!! :blindfold

It may just be me - but I'd of thought it made more sense to have just one domain name that everyone can get used to ???

www.disclosure.gov.uk + www.crb.gov.uk = should equal what ?... my thoughts are www.crb.gov.uk what are everyone elses views on this?

Have a question..which is confusing me!
Can you download CRB forms from the website...or do you have to use an umbrella company to do this for you?..

Hiya

May be wrong but think the answer to that is no & no lol

Phone them to request a application pack - Registration Information Line 0870 90 90 822 or General enquiry contact form

Information on this page and Downloadable resources & Application Guide on this one

Unusual not to have a downloadable version for people to get to grips with beforehand, maybe to make sure only those eligible for a check are processed/charged & perhaps for reasons of fraud !?

Are individual forms numbered ? Let us know what they say & if this is wrong !!

Ta Ruth...knew you would know what to do....

CRB forms are individually numbered , when we send one off we have to keep a record of the number , and date we send it off . We have to use one of the companies recommended by Ofsted as they pay the fee for the check, not us as a setting. We registered with one and then we had to register who would be doing verifying IDs with them as well, so only named persons can verify identities.

They sent us a pack with lots of forms in it that we keep at the setting, need more just phone.

Our Committee Chairperson was the named registered/suitable person with the authority to verify ID.
