Getting an enhanced disclosure (crb) check?

M

MikeNW

Has anyone done this recently? I may have a way into some school window cleaning work but need an enhanced crb.

Everything online says you cannot CRB check yourself but can I as an employer (we are a ltd company) do a check on an employee of that company (me)? Also, can anyone recommend one of the many agencies to use?

 
I have half a way in /emoticons/biggrin.png I was hoping to approach them with the dbs sorted, h&S policy ready etc. Dont mind paying the £60 ish if I have to, its another selling point anyway. I will ring a few of the agencies and ask the question I suppose.

 
As stated above you don't need one if you are not working at the school(s) within the school holidays only if working during term time . I have mine done by one of the schools as sometimes the windows need cleaning on occasions when their are still a few kids around probs had first done about 9 years ago .

 
Have they asked for this?

I have priced a lot of schools and not one has ever asked for any H&S or DBS check the only thing you need to be when cleaning schools is cheap they don't care about any thing else but price.

 
I'm a school caretaker, the school I'm at is not an academy so has NO money. I had quotes from other companies, some were ridiculous and either end of the scale. My price would have been around £250, one company quoted £88! Our windows don't get cleaned - except the front entrance which I do as a matter of course! Not my cup of tea so I don't quote schools, too much hassle in my opinion - and I have a key so can let myself in ANY school in Staffordshire.

Hey, schools are nice work as there built well for window cleaning and normally have good windows, great thinking if you've got an in... all the schools we do though we don't need DBS check as they have it done on half terms normally... maybe double check you might be wasting valuable time and money while someone else slips in.
