is it just me or do crb checks take a bloody long to time to go through?
i took on two jobs on 15th oct & im STILL waiting for the CRB check to go through.
i had to fill it in and took it into the department the day after the interview, who left it sat on their desk for a ridiculous time, until i rang to ask about a start day.
they then posted it off to some council numpties, who don't actually seem to have any useful role in the process.
they lost it, so i had to fill another form in!
i only found this out when i rang them to find out what was taking so long.
i then had to start all over again.
now it has been logged as arrived at the department in liverpool who actually do something apparently.
only thing is, it has been there for 2 weeks logged as arrived, but NOTHING has been done on it.
i phoned them & they say it will still take at least a month!
the only reason i can't start work is because of this dealyed form.
i'm now completely BROKE and the children i'm supposed to be helping with their learning have still not got the help they need.
i belive in checking for good character, but why is this system so completely inefficent?
ARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
