Dear Mandi
The CRB should provide you with a set of questions that they will want to
look at.
Basically, the CRB will want to ensure that your organisation and
countersignatories are aware of the code of practice and are following it.
Common pitfalls are holding on to disclosures, requesting CRB
disclosure for people you are not entitled to ask, the misuse of
volunteers and the BIG NO NO passing disclosure info onto third parties
eg placements etc.
They will also want to check that you have some sort of policy in place re
CRBs and this is available. If I were you I would putit on your intranet or
better still in the FOI publication scheme.
I would suggest that you and the other countersignatories read, mark &
inwardly digest the code of practice prior to the visit.
Do you know who is visiting you?
