Depends on your circumstances. Have you spoken to the jobcentre?

Your employer should pay! I volunteer in the scouts and my wife works in a school they would never accept a CRB brought in by someone!

I agree with this. As a retired teacher, and also as a qualified tennis referee, I needed CRB checks. My employers always paid for them!

You will need to speak to your advisor in the Jobcentre. They can consider reimbursing under the Flexible Support Fund but are only likely to do so if you can provide evidence that you are going to close your claim due to starting work. They can only consider it for an enhanced CRB as well. I would phone and ask.

Some employers do charge for CRB checks - but some will refund the cost of the CRB over the course of two or three wage packets.

Scout leaders do not pay as the CRB disclosures are free for some (possibly all?) voluntary grups. I know that scouting and guiding leaders do not pay for CRBs as they are free for these groups.
