CRB question

[3 little ducks]

Can anyone clear up some confusion for me? How often, ifyouhave to, do we need to have CRB checks done, does my original one from 2003 still count or do i need to have anew one, how much and how do i do it? Many thanks in advance

hi

Do you know, my initial reaction was to say when you have had one done, thats it, but thinking about it i'm not sure now.

I've just got a CM2 form from Ofsted because my partner has moved in, and the disclosure came via them,

sorry i have been no use, but that is a very good question!

i too am now confused

i thought you had to renew then every 3 years but im not sure thats right

I dont have a clue but something rings a bell that you have to be checked every so many years like rascal said sorry cant be any help but im sure some one else will let you know

CRBs are a snapshot of your life on the day they are issued. There is no legal requirement to update them... there is a recommendation that they are recent... but no legal framework of guidance of what 'recent' means, that I am aware of.

Ofsted will tell you if they want you to have a new one I suppose. I never had one until one of the teens in the house hit 16 last year, then Ofsted said they might as well 'do' me at the same time

I have an enhanced crb from 2006 when i worked for the NHS but I have been told i need a new one done for starting up childminding. not sure if that helps or not...?
