Paying for your own CRB check

Just enquiring what people think regarding applying for a job vacancy and being asked to pay for the CRB check yourself if you are successful. The majority of vacancies advertise that the expense will be met by the employer.
I personally think it is a bit of a cheek for any employer who requires a CRB check on their potential employee to ask for them to pay for it themselves.
Although I am unemployed, I refuse to apply for any position on principal where you have to meet your own expense on a CRB check even though I am probably cutting off my nose to spite my face.

I can understand you being charged for a CRB check if you fail and you knew you would fail, but they shouldn't be charging you when it's a requirement that they have one done.I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?0

I think that employer's should pay for a CRB check - it's not like it is valid anywhere else when it is done.0

I take it you also do not claim benefits 'on principal'. I suppose the main point is how much do you want to go back to work.Life is too short to drink bad wine!0 -

It is valid at any other companies you may work for as well.0 -
No its not! They are only valid for that employing organisation!!0

Sorry 2 companies i worked for since i had one said i did not need a new one and just looked at the original one.That was for work in the courier industry.0

Ah - whilst some companies may accept an old CRB technically the check is not valid - ie if it was part of T&Cs that there was a valid CRB in place then this would not hold.
Public sector orgs that require CRB (standard or enhanced) will insist on a new CRB.0 -

I'm referring to an enhanced CRB, I believe a standard on maybe ported. I assume a courier wouldn't need an enhanced one (or one at all really? )0 -
When one is to be an employee, the employer (local authority) has paid for CRB.
When doing further education teaching (through an agency, not directly employed), I have had to pay for the CRB. This agency will now take the cost from the first monthly pay. It has to be renewed at least every 3 years with that agency even if the employing college is the one and only place one works.0
