As part of the CQC requirements, all members of staff within a Dental Practice must have Enhanced CRB Checks
However, for the Main Provider (the legal entity that provides the service) and the Registered Manager (the individual who manages the day-to-day operations of the Provider), their CRB Checks must be arranged and countersigned by the CQC. The CQC will provide instructions as to how they will undertake the CRB checks for the Registered Manager and Main Provider within the Practice.
CRB Checks for Dental Nurses and CRB Checks for Dentists
The CQC require all members of staff within a Dental Practice to have Enhanced CRB Checks. This is because the Enhanced CRB Checks are more suited for professions who regularly come in contact with either children or vulnerable adults such as Dental Nurses and Dentists.
