I know another CRB thread :rolleyes: Sorry but I've got to get this off my chest.
DH works for a local authority and recently applied for an enhanced CRB check. It was still being processed when Ofsted Inspector did my pre reg visit. This morning his copy has arrived dated 2nd March. Ofsted only passed our forms to the CRB a couple of days ago so I thought I'd ring Ofsted and see if they'd accept it to try and speed things up. Not on your nelly!! I was barely on the phone for 30 secs. The woman I spoke to was completely uninterested and told me no it must be an Ofsted CRB. Phaff!!
Looking on the positive side I was only checked summer 08 and his Ofsted CRB [in theory] shouldn't take long at all. It just seems crazy that all I'm waiting on is CRBs yet we've both had one in the last 12 months.
