CRB Checks

The appropriate part of the change is "Individuals who go into different schools or similar settings to work with different groups of children should not be required to register unless their contact with the same children is frequent or intensive" [1] which is a recommendation made to CRB in a report, which has been accepted by them. This would cover the Schools Project work, such that we would not need to obtain CRB checks. It is not clear when the rules will be changed to apply this recommendation (or if they have already been changed) - I will check this on Tuesday by phone. Discuss
