Sue,
Apologies if this has already reached you - Bexley's policy is that all
our frontline staff are CRB checked. We also encourage all our
volunteers to be CRB checked as well although we do not insist on this
except for those who help to deliver our Home Library Service. Our
librarians are also CRB checked.
Please would you copy me into a summary of the replies you receive.
Thanks,
Hugh Paton

Subject: CRB checks
Some time ago, we were advised by our HR department to CRB check all our
frontline library staff. Due to the costs involved we had to do this in
stages.
Now part way through the process, we are now receiving conflicting
advice from HR who seem to have changed their mind. We now wish to
complete what has been started, especially as the new ISA registration
is unlikely to include most library staff. However, HR are now trying to
put a stop on it, saying that library front line staff are not
'regularly caring and responsible' for children or vulnerable groups so
do not require to be CRB checked.
It would be helpful to know what the policy is in other library
authorities.
Many thanks
