09/11/09 CRB Checks on School Photographers Following an increase in the number of telephone calls received from members regarding CRB checks on Photographers taking pictures in schools (probably following from the National introduction of the ISA or 'Independent Safeguarding Authority') we have enquired of both CRB and Ofsted for the current position.
CRB have confirmed (verbally and via an article on their website) that self employed individuals (including company directors) cannot apply for CRB clearance for themselves and this is reiterated in the Ofsted guidance as attached.
CRB Checks on School photographers, are these required? Click here to view the Ofsted response.
