assistant and crb check

[murphy61]

Just after some more advice sorry.

I'm already registered to work with an assistant but i need to get a new one due to previous one having other commitments now.

Do i have to wait until they have thier crb or can they start working with me but never be left unsupervised until thier crb comes back.

I know that they can't be left in sole charge until they have their first aid certificate.

Thanks

You're best checking with Ofsted... if there's nothing in the assistants handbook

I was told by Ofsted, your new assistant can work with you but not be left unsupervised untill crb is back.
Im in this situation at the mo.

i phoned yesterday and was told that they could work but i couldn't implement my numbers when working with an assistant until their crb came back.

i was expecting the replies to say crb back firdt for safety sake?
