CRB
Academic Appointments practices a secure recruitment process to ensure that all staff are fully cleared to fulfil roles that involve working with children and vulnerable adults. As part of this, we are an approved Registered Body with the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB).
What are the types of CRB Disclosures?
There are two levels of disclosure checks available:
Standard: Standard Disclosures are mainly for posts that involve minimal contact with children or vulnerable adults. These may also be issued for people entering certain professions that involve positions of trust, such as legal and accounting. An Enhanced Disclosure check is undertaken for all education staff who register with us for work. As an approved Registered Body with the CRB we are also able to undertake CRB Standard or Enhanced Disclosure checks on behalf of other individuals. Once you have clicked on the Request Application Form button, Academic Appointments will post out a CRB Information Pack to you. This pack includes the CRB Disclosure application form together with instructions for filling in the form and outlining acceptable evidence of identification and current address. When you have received the information pack, please contact us to arrange a suitable time for you to bring your completed application form, together with proof of identification and current address into our office for validation. The disclosure application form is sent to the CRB immediately to begin the checking process. For more detailed information of the complete CRB Application process please see http://www.crb.gov.uk N.B We apply for an Enhanced Disclosure for all education staff who work directly with Academic Appointments, as part of our standard registration process. The CRB aims to have checks completed within 4 to 6 weeks, although they can sometimes take less time and sometimes take longer. The progress of your application is regularly checked by Academic Appointments and any issues or delays will be discussed with you.
