Guidance on Criminal Record Bureau Checks for Volunteers

If your organisation works with children or vulnerable adults you may be legally required to request a CRB check for any volunteers that wish to help you.

The Cabinet Office has recently published new guidance to help organisations to be clear about CRB checks for volunteers and how the check works as part of a proper risk management process. The guidance can be downloaded from http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/~/media/assets/www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/third_sector/CRB%20final%20pdf.ashx

Alternatively you can request a paper copy by calling 0845 015 0010 and quoting URN 08/Z1.
