If you require a Disclosure (police check) you have to obtain one by filling in the appropriate forms. As an individual you are unable to apply for a Disclosure, but can do so by going to an Umbrella Body.  The current legislation does not allow the self employed to apply for a CRB check on themselves, however, if an agency supplies the person (tutor/nanny etc.), the agency is entitled to carry out a CRB check & this may be done through an Umbrella Body. (For further guidance for the self-employed, see http://www.crb.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=381)

Skinners of Oxted is an Umbrella Body for the CRB and offer this service to local businesses and organisations for an administration fee of £10.00 per Disclosure (+VAT @ 17½%) - Standard Disclosure = £42.30, Enhanced Disclosure = £54.05, Volunteer Disclosure = £11.75 & ISA Adult First = £7.05.

We will offer guidance on the Disclosure service, filling in the forms and the rules pertaining to the keeping of Disclosure information.
