The idea
CRB checks seem to be a good idea.I assume the idea is to check out the person who comes into contact with vulnerable people?
Why then does a person who moves between jobs have to get a new one every time?
This seems very time consuming and a complete waste of time.
My wife even had to get a new one when she moved towns and worked for the same organisation!!
Why is it important?
It saves money
It saves time
When you apply for a new job,having to get a new one can delay your starting date by up to 3 months in certain cases.This costs the employee and the employer money.Also it stops the government getting its taxes
If a prospective employee has to pay for the check themselves it might even put them off from bothering to apply for the job,ie in the case of a self employed person.
