CRB Check - Process

In order to obtain a CRB check through BS Social Care and BS Home Care, candidates must:

• Complete an application form at their local branch
• Provide proof of identification - 1 photographic form and 1 paper form
• Provide a utility bill, so that their address can be checked against it
• Provide addresses covering the last 5 years
• Provide their National Insurance number

An authorised countersignatory, who is usually the Branch Manager, will then endorse and sign the application and the form will be sent to the CRB for processing.

This process is currently taking 4 weeks, but for the latest information please refer to www.crb.gov.uk.

Two copies of the CRB check are then sent out, one to the local branch and one to the candidate.

Due to recent legislation, all relevant protection lists will be checked, depending upon the position the candidate applies for.
