Any adult that will come into contact with our students whilst on the College site are subject to an Enhanced Disclosure from the Criminal Records Bureau.
The CRB check is repeated for all employees every three years to ensure your child is educated in a safe environment.
The Criminal Records Bureau (CRB), an Executive Agency of the Home Office, provides wider access to criminal record information through its Disclosure service. This service enables organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors to make safer recruitment decisions by identifying candidates who may be unsuitable for certain work, especially that involve children or vulnerable adults. The CRB was established under Part V of the Police Act 1997 and was launched in March 2002.
Prior to 2002, access to police checks was mainly confined to organisations in the statutory sector for staff who had ‘substantial unsupervised access’ to children. There were many other organisations that could not access these checks and yet had staff with similar access to vulnerable groups. The CRB enables many more organisations to access these checks as part of good recruitment practice.
Organisations wishing to use the service can ask successful job applicants to apply for one of two types of check. The type of check required will depend upon the nature of the position. These are called Enhanced and Standard Disclosures, both require a fee but are free of charge to volunteers.
The CRB acts as a 'one stop shop' for organisations checking police records. If you would like to know more about the Criminal Records Bureau, please click the logo to link to their official website. Alternatively, contact Mrs Lyddon at the College to learn more about CRB at St Boniface's.
