How often

Do CRB checks need to be renewed and how much do hey cost.

My last one was done in 2007 and a parent today asked me if i had a more up to date one

[beccas]

you dont have to renew them but soon theres that vetting and barring thingy...

[Kelly]

you only get one, some childminders won't even have one if they were registered pre-Ofsted. I have a few one for childminding, scouts, school helper, local nursery so I always seem to have an up to date one, I can't wait for the vetting and barring scheme.

[caz3007]

I am sure I was told on my original registration check that Ofsted are informed if we do get something on our police record that they should know about. I may be wrong as it was some years ago, so our CRB are ongoing

[sarah707]

We must inform Ofsted if anything happens that might affect our CRBs... and they will decide if they want to do a new CRB because of that.

Police will inform Ofsted if something happens they think they need to know about... a person in our home committing an offence / domestic violence / violence against children etc.

We do not get updated CRBs unless there is a need.

Like Beccas says the new vetting and barring will come in over the next few years until then unless something changes your current CRB is all that is needed.

hth :D
