Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) Disclosures |
||
|
Crossways Community is a Registered Body and Umbrella Body for CRB Disclosures. This means that we can obtain CRB Disclosures for our own staff and also for those organisations that are not sufficiently big enough (or otherwise choose not to).
The CRB process can appear cumbersome and confusing partly due to the way the legislation was framed (key legislation & this) We will endeavour to make this process as straightforward as possible but it will be of great help if you can ensure that you are eligible to apply.

Definition & Charges for Volunteers |
|
|||
|
If you are a volunteer then there is no CRB charge for this (there is still an administration charge as the application process is the same). The definition of “volunteer” for the CRB is slightly different to most other definitions. The following information is taken from: The Police Act 1997 (Criminal Records) Regulations 2002
Regulation 2... “A volunteer is person who is engaged in any activity which involves spending time, unpaid (except for travelling and other approved out-of-pocket expenses), doing something which aims to benefit someone (individuals or groups) other than or in addition to close relatives”
Based on the CRB’s interpretation of the law: The following are not classed as volunteers · Foster carers and other people living in the same home are not classed as volunteers. · Paid workers in a voluntary or charitable organisation.
The following are classed as volunteers: · Adoptive parents and those living in the same home are classed as volunteers. · Unpaid workers who fit into the above definition If you have paid and unpaid workers, only those who fit into the definition above are eligible for the volunteer rate for Disclosure. |

No Membership Fee |
|
|
||
|
Unlike some other Umbrella Bodies we do not charge an annual or quarterly membership fee and will treat application as a separate agreement. This means that there is no “financial penalty” for not submitting a lot of Disclosures and also means that if you find a more convenient Umbrella Body elsewhere, you are free to do so. |
