Since April 2005 the Criminal Records Bureau has been de-registering CRB registered bodies who submit less than 100 applications per year.
This means that smaller organisations that have a requirement to check employees or volunteers are no longer able to conduct their own CRB Disclosure Checks.
As a CRB Umbrella Body, ESL can provide this service for smaller organisations enabling them to continue to reduce the risk to their business from potential new employees and volunteers by ensuring they have a CRB check performed prior to employment.
There are a number of benefits why you should choose to access CRB checks via ESL.
These are:
- You will not need to pay the CRB’s registration fee
- You may only require a small number of checks per annum and cannot meet the threshold requirements or the terms for direct registration – ESL has no minimum threshold.
- ESL acts as an interface between you and the CRB, so that you can concentrate on your own business.
- ESL will administer, process and acquire the CRB check on your behalf.
- ESL have a great deal of experience in handling and processing CRB checks that can pay dividends in ensuring that the check is completed as quickly as possible.
- You may require help and assistance in order to comply with certain obligations contained in the CRB’s Code of Practice.
- You may lack the necessary administration resource or the relevant expertise in handling criminal record information.
