| Calling all individuals who are working with children, teens or vulnerable people on behalf of the benefice.
If you are running or helping to run activities for children, young people or vulnerable adults as part of your contribution to the life of our parishes you need to have a current 'enhanced disclosure' certificate from the Criminal Records Bureau. These certificates are time limited and therefore need to be kept up to date.
I am the benefice CRB liaison officer. I am setting up a database of all our members around the benefice who are involved in this kind of contact, with a note of the scope and expiry date of the holders' certificates, so that we can keep track of the certificating and updating process. I would be very grateful if you would contact me with your details so that I can maintain this record.
If you are involved in this kind of contact but do not as yet hold a disclosure certificate, please would you also let me know as soon as possible. I shall be arranging a bulk 'application session' shortly to get us all up to date!
Thank you for your help. Please email details to:
sleevescttee@aol.com with 'CRB details' in the subject line. Alternatively you can phone me on 01235 868782.
