To save valuable resources of time and money of voluntary (and other – i.e. schools) and enable them to get on with what their aims and objectives are.

CRB checks should have NATIONAL VALIDITY. i AGREE WITH THE CHECKS BUT BELIEVE THERE SHOULD ONLY BE ONE (HIGHER) LEVEL OF CHECK. Having thus done a thorough check it should have national validity for a set period – 3 to 5 years – after which it should be renewed, with the ease of only having to check back for the period of 3 to 5 years (whatever is the selected period).
Too many voluntary organisations waste their valuable resources (time and money) under the present system. I currently have 3 CRB checks. Save money, save time and save dignity – it is offensive to keep jumping through the same hoops.
