children party organisers are they CRB checked..?

This is difficult, do you know if this is the person's main source of income, or a second job? If it is the latter then they may already have CRB clearance if their main job involves working with children. Likewise if they are involved in helping with a children's voluntary group like cubs.



If you come into contact with vulnerable groups in more than one place (e.g. teacher at a school and governor at another school) you need seperate checks.

    Sorry, I should have explained that better, I meant to say that if they worked with children they would have had at least one check made on them.

    When my OH worked as a taxi driver he had 3 done, 1 by the county council, 1 by the district council and 1 by the employer.
    You need to find an "umberella" agency if you want one done on yourself.

  • Organise the party yourself and then you won't have to bother.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Totally agree. Just use common sense.

    Do not use the CRB check as an excuse not to be sensible. People only fail a CRB check if they have been caught out.
