Roles involving being in sole charge of Children & Vulnarable Adults call for an Enhanced Disclosure only (see definition below). Please note in order for us to act as an Umbrella Body for you we will require a nominated person from your organisation to sign a CRB contract with us before we can act for you. INDEPENDENT SAFEGUARDING AUTHORTY (I.S.A.) The I.S.A. came into force in October 2009 and was placed on hold in June 2010. To find out more click here. DISCLOSURE CHECKS It is recommended that Disclosure checks are carried out at 2 year intervals. This is now mandatory within the C.M.A.A. and affiliate bodies. How does the process work? - Watch Movie Online Read the C.M.A.A. Policy statement on dealing with ex-offenders - Click here Guidance notes for Applicants - From 26th July 2010 - www.crbeguide.co.uk Definitions of Enhanced & Standard Disclosures Standard Disclosure: These are no longer be available for those working with children or the vulnerable. Standard checks may also be issued for people entering certain professions, such as members of the legal and accountancy professions. The Standard check contains details of all convictions held on the PNC including current and 'spent' convictions as well as details of any cautions, reprimands or final warnings. If a position involves working with children, the CRB check will indicate whether information is held on three government lists of those who are banned from working with children or the vulnerable. Enhanced Disclosure: These are for posts that involve contact with children or vulnerable adults. In general the type of work will involve regularly caring for, supervising, training or being in sole charge of such people. Examples include a Martial Arts Instructor, Teacher, Scout or Guide leader. Enhanced checks are also issued for certain statutory purposes such as gaming and lottery licences. This level of check involves an additional level of check to those carried out for the Standard CRB check - a check on local police records. Where local police records contain additional information that may be relevant to the post the applicant is being considered for, the Chief Officer of police may release information for inclusion in an Enhanced check. Exceptionally, and in a very small number of circumstances (typically to protect the integrity of current police investigations), additional information may be sent under separate cover to the Countersignatory and should not be revealed to the applicant. IMPORTANT NOTES! 1. Acting as an "Umbrella Body" for Person's outside the C.M.A.A. Group If you are not associated with us in any way that does not matter as we are also a registered Umbrella Body meaning that we can act as an agent for you. In these cases we would require a "nominated person" from your Company / Group to read and sign a contract with us. Doing so binds that person to abide by both the CRB code of conduct and the Data Protection Act. If you would like us to act on your behalf please get in touch and we will send you the forms. 2.
