Question 9

Initial enquiries will need to be made through your relevant governing body of sport.

Any screening procedures established by the sports club should be used consistently for all volunteers who might now, or in the future, have unsupervised, isolated or regular one-to-one contact with young and vulnerable people. Existing volunteers can be asked to provide the same information as new, potential volunteers.

There are three levels of CRB checks – enhanced, standard and basic. The club will need enough information in order to receive a minimum of a standard disclosure from the CRB. A disclosure form and additional guidance on what to include can be obtained from the CRB.

You will need to submit the relevant information via your governing body, which will be registered with the CRB. There is no cost for screening volunteers with the CRB, but some governing bodies for sport may charge a small amount for administration of the application.
