Good Conduct Certificate - anybody know about this?

[hovely]

I am trying to recruit a sole charge nanny, and have some nice candidates from Eastern Europe. I spoke to the CRB about police checks/ disclosure for people from these countries, and was told that they should ask their embassies for a "Good Conduct Certificate". Anybody heard of these, or seen one? Any idea how long they take to obtain and what they cover?

I know the British embassy will provide them for UK residents who want to teach overseas.

You should be able to ring/e-mail an embassy and ask them about it/what it covers and who does the checking and what sort of legal status it has. For instance, will all convictions and warnings be disclosed or ony certain types?

Thanks goldenoldie, good idea to ask the embassies.
