If working in this sector you are reminded that if you are appointing new staff for this summer or autumn, you should apply for the disclosure as soon as you can, to ensure that the disclosure is in place before the start of term.
 CRB disclosures are required for all new appointments to the schools workforce, and those in the FE college workforce involved in the provision of educating and regularly caring for, training, supervising or being in sole charge of children or young people under the age of 18.
By new appointed staff, we mean anyone who, within the three months before his or her appointment, has not worked in:
-
A school in England in a post which brought him or her into regular contact with children or any post they were appointed to since 12 May 2006; or
-
A FE college in England in a position which involved the provision of education and regularly caring for, training, supervising or being in sole charge of children or young people under the age of 18.
In summary, CRB Disclosures are required:
-
For new appointments to the workforce, including overseas staff
-
Or existing staff taking up a post with significantly greater responsibility for children, where the previous post did not require an Enhanced Disclosure
-
For staff who have a break in service of three months or more
-
Where there are concerns about an individual’s suitability to work with children.
