Enhanced CRB Checks for VOLUNTEERS:
The Volunteer CRB Checks come in either a Standard or Enhanced level. They are offered to organisations and charities, at a discounted rate, for Volunteer workers who do not receive any payment for the work they carry out within the organisation.
The Volunteer CRB check can only be applied by the Organisation or Charity and both the applicant and the organisation receive a copy of the Disclosure. An individual cannot apply for a Volunteer CRB Check on them self.
The Criminal Records Bureau are committed to providing disclosures for volunteer’s applications that meet the CRB definition of a volunteer.
In order for an applicant to qualify as a volunteer they must not:
- Receive any payment (except for travel and other approved out –of-pocket expenses).
- Be on a placement
- Be on a course that requires them to do this job role
- Be in a trainee position that will lead to a full time role/qualification
Definition of volunteer
The Police Act 1997 (Criminal Records) Regulations 2002 defines a volunteer as:
“ Person who is engaged in any activity which involves spending time, unpaid doing something which aims to benefit some third party other than, or in addition to, a close relative''
For Volunteer CRB applications, because the applicant does not receive any payment for their work, we offer a reduced cost for the applications.
The CRB do not charge anything for the application and it is totally free – we simply just charge a small administration fee for processing the check for you of £18.00 per person (including VAT).
