Criminal Record Bureau Checks

My wife has been asked to fill in a CRB check form but she is worried because she has 2 county court judgements against her. Do these show on CRB checks? If so should they as it's not a criminal conviction it's civil?

Hope someone can help

TIA

    No, a CCJ is not a criminal matter.

    CRB will show nothing, unless she has any form of criminal record.

    CRB checks are criminal checks and are now becoming standard for those who work with children.

    They deal only with criminal records, not civil matters.

    More information here: http://www.crb.gov.uk/Default.aspx?page=0

    No as a CCJ isn't a crime, where as something like a public order offence is.
    Smaller things don't tend to be put on your CRB, only thing relevant to your check. For example my 'conviction' for speeding wasn't on my CRB.

    Not sure if I'm right or not but when I did my CRB form there was a section for finances, I did not have to fill this in because I was not working in finance, my employer told me not to bother with this.If you are working for a financial institution I think they check you out with the credit reference agencies.

    What kind of responsibilities will she be taking on? Sunday school? Or helping to run a credit union? That might affect what they're looking for. Can you ask?

    If it's working in a kids club, it will be an enhanced CRB which would show ALL criminal convictions and cautions even if spent.
    It will show no ccj's or any financial information.
    I have had 2 this year due to starting new jobs, they used to be valid for 1 year but now you have to apply for a new one for every new job.

    every job i have started to said i had to send off for a new one if actually starting the job not applying, a girl i worked with said they used to be valid for a year so if starting a new job within a year you wouldnt have to send off for a new one.
    Maybe its just in my area.
