Oxford Hub volunteers who wish to work with children or vulnerable adults may be asked to undertake a CRB check.
In some cases you will not be able to undertake your volunteering until the CRB has been successfully returned. This can often take between 4 and 8 weeks, so it is important that you complete yours as soon as you are able.
The CRB check simply checks if an individual has a criminal record. For more information you can visit http://www.crb.gov.uk/
If you do have a criminal record this does not mean you will not be allowed to volunteer. Each case will be reviewed on an individual bases to ensure all volunteering is appropriate.
To obtain your CRB you will usually be required to go directly though the organisation you are volunteering with. If this is not possible you can get a CRB through OUSU. To do this go to the OUSU building in Bond Square between 11 – 3, Monday to Thursday. Ask for Jill at reception and she will be able to support you through the process.
If you already have an Advanced CRB Check from 2007 onwards this can be used at the desecration of our partner organisations. Please bring it to Oxford Hub to be checked.
