How do i go about getting a CRB (or whatever they are called now) for DS1

[Saltire]

anyone?

OFSTED website. There will be a link to Crapita website who administer DRB checks.

Here is is :-)

DBS Check

Blmey, they don't make it easy for you do they?

Seeing as DS1 is only 16 and only has his birth certificate as ID what otehr forms of ID can I use for him?

Why does he need one? I always have one through the organisation, I never have to do it myself. I am just handed a form and give it back and the organisation sends it off and pays the fee.

Because he is nearly 16

Do you mean a CRB? That is for working with children or vulnerable adults.

He will automatically get a National Insurance number when 16.

Yeah they used to be CRB but I think they have changed their name. he will need one as I am a childminder.

Are you a childminder? Had never thought of 16 year olds who are the DC of childminders needing a CRB check but I suppose they would.

That explains it- I was trying, and failing, to understand. Ask CAB if in doubt.

CRB is now known as DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service).

For additional proof of ID, does he have a passport and a bank account?

Lots of information here:

www.gov.uk/disclosure-barring-service-check/

And their helpline telephone number 0870 909 0811.

Birth certificate will be his group 1 ID

Then does he have a bank account at all? There are also done circumstances where a letter from a headteachervwill be accepted.

If he can't produce all the documentation then he'll have to go for fingerprinting.

No passport. He does have bank account but not one that has a book or statements.
He got a letter yesterday with his NI number on,would that do?

Ring them, he won't be the first 16 year old in this situation.
