The name for CRB checks has changed - 07.01.2013

The name for CRB checks has changed - they are now DBS checks - Disclosure and Barring Service.

https://www.gov.uk/crb-criminal-reco...check/overview

If you employ other childminders you might need to change your handbook, safeguarding information and recruitment procedures to reflect the new name.

If you have written about CRB checks in your portfolio, in any policies and procedures you need to change the wording.

You might also want to update parents with the new information in your next newsletter.

The rules in Scotland for Scottish childminders are different - Employers & Agencies - Apply for a disclosure - Disclosure Scotland

:D

Thanks Sarah x

Thanks Sarah :thumbsup:

If its just a name change its a waste of time, cos everyone knows CRB, and it will be "err...a what ?? :mad: So do I call my CRB a DBS if i had it before this name change date Sarah 707 ?

Thanks for letting us know.
I'm due a policy review & update next week anyway so I can add that in too:rolleyes:

So do I fill in the CRB forms for DS who is now 16 - they only came last week. Or will I be sent something different now? :rolleyes:

Thanks Sarah as usual, you are a star. I can't keep up with things!

Thank you sarah. I think shall make a handwritten note on my already printed policies etc rather than printing them all out again! As a previous person said, they'll be known as crb's for a while!!

There is a new version of the EY2 form on the Ofsted website - dated 28 Nov 2012. That's still the most up-to-date one :D
