    no chance.

    one of the biggest rip offs going. whilst i agree with them once you've had one done that should be enough and valid for a certain period.. Had one for refereeing done and one for for the Taxi knowledge and got charge for both. When I get my badge got to pay for another one.

    yeah they are BUT if you do something else that requires a CRB check you have to go throught the process again and can have 3 or 4 of the bloody things going at once. My point is you should have one and then if someone asks you you can produce that one.

    check the following:

    essentially you can't get them on your own, but if you want to do charity work and the charity say you need a check they should be able to get it for nothing.

    Reams I'm pretty sure an employee must give consent for the check.

    I know I had to give my old man signed consent when I was working for his cab firm.

    And CRB checks aren't always recognised across different agencies either. For example I have a CRB check done by the FA so I can work in youth football, if I then go and work in a school they will still want to carry out their own CRB check.

    Mental IMO

    you can ask for them to accept one done by another organisation, but most organisations will insist on their own current one just to cover themselves.

    i'm just in the process of doing one for a volunteer orginisation. if it's for that orginisation and it's volunteering then the few is waived; you have to ring them up and the orginisation has to be registered with them (i think).

    I dunno if this would be as useful but you can get any information that is held about you on the police system by filling in this Data protection form, sending it to the old bill and paying 10 quid:

    A DPE1 done by yourself at a police station costs about £12 - most organisations go with the enhanced check which costs them about £48
