Safeguarding Children

As most of you will have heard safeguarding and child protection policies have been high on the agenda of the Government for some time.


Everyone involved with children either working in schools or running clubs needs to be aware of the potential risk situations and ensure their staff are correctly vetted.


How we can help you...

Do your staff work in schools or do you run a club for children or vulnerable adults?

Do your staff need a CRB disclosure?


If you answer ‘Yes’ to any of the above questions, can you also answer ‘Yes’ to the following one...


Can you process your own CRB disclosure applications?


If the answer is ‘No’, read on.


CRB Registered Body

Most small companies are unable to meet the requirements to enable them to process their own CRB disclosure applications and that’s where The Phoenix Partnership (East) Ltd can help you.


We are a registered CRB Umbrella Body so we are able to process CRB disclosure applications on your behalf for a small administration fee.

Update to the Vetting and Barring Scheme

You may have heard in the news that the government has announced their intention to remodel the Vetting and Barring Scheme (VBS) back to proportionate, common sense levels.

This means the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) registration phase of the scheme which was due to launch in July 2010 has now been stopped.

The launch of a new application form, which was happening to co-inside with ISA registration, will still go ahead as planned but the CRB will ignore any information completed which relates to ISA registration.

If you have any questions regarding the VBS or ISA please Contact Us
