Welcome to the forum Becky. I didn't realise they were letting children on the show although some of them are very young, mentioning no names! Or is it just the basic check which does not include children? Presumably, anyone with a criminal record will be excluded from the show. I'm a little surprised that they are allowed to ask for that information which can only be released for sensitive jobs and is otherwise protected information. It's a bit annoying, though, because I presume you have to pay for a CRB check. Anyway, good luck with it all. Let us know if you discover any more about the policy.Image

I'm not sure if I myself ever had a 'CRB' check as I don't 100% sure know what it is! How do you apply for it and what does it involve? I don't have a criminal record. I'm too visually impaired to drive a car, which rules out speeding offences. I've never had a drunk-and-disorderly. I've never taken illegal substances. Etc etc :-)

CRB stands for Criminal Records Bureau and it is the database which identifies all convictions. Certain jobs require a CRB check because they are sensitive eg postmen. Others have an enhanced check which specifically deals with offences against children and includes the register used for paedophiles because they are working with children eg taxi drivers. As far as I recall there are rules about who can ask you to have such a check because under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act it is illegal to request the information without a proper reason - certain jobs are exempted from the Act. Also, in these days of political correctness, there are a whole host of questions which can no longer be asked in job interviews because, basically, appointments can only be made on ability to do the job and that, obviously, excludes race, sex and age. I am, frankly, amazed that a TV show would be exempted.

There is a form to fill in which, I think nowadays is done by you, the applicant and is sent directly to the CRB but the reply is sent to the "employer" but in the old days the form was given to the employer who made the application. It all seems a bit odd to me. The fee is something like £20 or £30, I think.

If this thread gets complicated, and I think it will, I will look up the regulations and post a definitive statement but others who have been on the show, may know the answer straight up, so I will wait and see what happens first.

Pierre

Hi, its only the basic one they have asked for, which i assume is just to confirm I am who I sa I am etc. Coat £20 which I had to pay, but I dont mind as I am cool with the whole CRB check thing. I thought it was a bit odd mind having to have one, but if needs must and all!!! :eyes:
