checking
You will have access to that information and whilst I am
not for one minute saying you are not an upstanding member of the community - on
the sinister side of things you could be part of a paedophile ring and share
that information with them.
On the other hand, I woud have thought as
we do here that you just sign up to a confidentiality agreement although I do
believe as some of our IT guys go into schools (schools are part of the Council
in Scotland) that they have to have CRB checks done.

I work in the IT of
my authority. Part of my work involves rolling out SharePoint as a document
repository, for which I have elevated permissions allowing me to access to large
amounts of documents and spreadsheets. Much of this could be about children or
vulnerable adults. Up until the present I have not been CRB checked for my work
in IT.
Recently we have
have been asked about our CRB status with regard to getting everybody in IT who
is not currently CRB checked up to that standard.
I seem to remember
that to need CRB checking a person has to be in some sort of actual contact
with children and vulnerable adults, not just have access to information about
them. As I rarely leave county hall I have no contact with these
groups.
My question is, do I
need CRB checking to have access to this information for the purposes of IT
work and if not would my employer be making me go down the route of
enforced subject access by making me have a CRB check?
This such
a touchy area, is he hiding something? that I feel I should say that I did
have a CRB check 4 years ago when I worked in an area of the council where I
came in to contact with clients, I have no problems with CRB checks, just a
problem when people are forced to take them when it is not necessary. We
shouldn't be collecting this data just because we can.
