CRB...not sure this is the best place to post...

[FairLadyRantALot]

anyway...for how long is a enhanced crb valid, with the employer you did it for....

[MrsMuddle]

It's recommended that they are updated every 24 months, although very soon you will be able to have one that you can take from job to job and that will be updated automatically. At least, that was the talk very recently at a meeting I was at.

I am just asking, because employer (am a part time relief worker) ask for renewal after 24 month, but Uni, where I study for an Ot degree told us out crb's with them will be valid for the 3 years....

but I suppose my employer hasn't mixed it up then...thanks!

[scrooged]

They are valid for three years but you have to get a new one each time you change employer. Your employer can request for them to be repeated every year though.

They are only a snapshop that is 'valid' on the day it they are issued.

I have come across places that say one year.

It's not a big deal to get renewed surely?

[FairLadyRantALot]

oh rihght...so depends on employer, etc....and yes, know about the one for each employer etc....

[FairLadyRantALot]

st...I was just so busy recently....just started on my degree in September....and sort of forgot....also wasn't sure if I had to pay for it myself again....Uni paid, but employer doesn't because I am a bank-worker...and have not been able to do any shifts for ages anyway....

You can't do a CRB on your own. It has to come from your employer/agency/educational institute/voluntary organisation.

If you need it, they have to organise it. If it is an employer, they should pay. In the voluntary sector, the fees are waived. If a particularly stingey organisation does it for you, you may have to cough up - but it is only about £35.

I know....but like I said...I just wondered really about employer asking for renewal but uni saying the one I have with them is o.k for 3 years....and there were changes of admin staff and irectors with my employer and wasn't sure if I was ask for renewal byt mistake....

[scienceteacher]

A bank is asking for a CRB?

[FairLadyRantALot]
