Having Police checks every year?? Our LO reckons that there are quite a few that have the checks every year. Anyone got any figures??

I would say less than 5% insist on every year.

DfT best practise says every three years.

But hopefully we will all be on the ISA list in future.

Then it's once and never again.

having seen and compared my POLICE records with my CRB checks, and given that the police check was £10, took two weeks and was exactly (word for word) the same as the CRB check (£36 and 3 months), why cant councils do what some prospective employers do, i.e. send you to get your police records....

(especially given that the CRB does not include motoring offences....)

Some regulatory bodies may still require that a CRB disclosure is carried out.

why do they make you have a crb every year, which goes against best practice?

Dunno mate I'm still fighting our lot about the every year issue.

I would ask them for the reason why they make it one year, also ask them why they dont follow best practice, I cant find any council that does one year crb,which is your LO
