Our thanks to Chalford CC for obtaining the following info from the ECB website concerning Child Welfare

From the ECB web-site (March 07):

I have already been CRB checked by another organisation - what can I do?

The England and Wales Cricket Board Ltd (ECB) does not accept the 'transfer' of CRB Certificates from another organisation. The CRB does not endorse the use of portability of certificates and so the ECB is following best practice guidance by requesting that all individuals in cricket apply for a CRB Check through the ECB.For more details of the risks of accepting others' certificates please see the CRB website.

I already have a Disclosure, can I use it again?
If you are asked to apply for a Disclosure and you already have one for a previous role; ask if the organisation is willing to accept it. When making this decision the organisation will take into account the length of time
that has elapsed since that Disclosure was issued; the level of Disclosure; the nature of the position for which the Disclosure was issued; and the nature of the position for which you are now applying. Ultimately, it will be the organisation's decision whether to accept it or not.

Dave Howell writes in summary: It has been brought to our attention that the ECB do not accept CRB checks
carried out via other organisations (football, youth work etc), therefore you must make sure that everybody in your club who needs a CRB check completes the form and submits it via Mike Bailey to the ECB. This will probably mean you getting in touch with Mike Bailey for a new supply of forms, please do
this asap. Sorry for any inconvenience but unfortunately it has to be done.
