Eligibility for CRB Disclosures
The CRB have asked that we clarify the rules over eligibility for Disclosures. Broadly speaking those who are eligible for Enhanced level Disclosures are those who are engaged in teaching, training, caring or supervisory roles or those who are their managers – this includes the relevant trustees (not necessarily all).
Other people may fall within eligibility for Standard Disclosures but this does not involve people such as administrators, caretakers, receptionists, property stewards or key holders because they do not have direct contact with those who are in the vulnerable groups.
Their contacts are incidental to their job – as would be the case for someone like a shopkeeper. A similar situation pertains for church coffee shops, etc – contact with child customers is not deemed to be sufficiently close to bring one into the eligibility criteria for a Disclosure. It is highly unlikely anyone in a church setting will be eligible for a Standard Disclosure due to the close contact in which we work with vulnerable people.
