As one of the UK’s leading specialists in pre-employment screening and referencing, Capita Recruitment Vetting Service (CRVS) is working with the ECS Scheme to provide enhanced CRB checks on behalf of ECS.

Safeguarding vulnerable people – CRB Checks & ISA Vetting & Barring Scheme

Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks are now often required for individuals in the electrotechnical industry when they work in schools, care homes, hospitals and other establishments which are responsible for vulnerable people. Many local authority contract tenders require you to have a CRB check done. From July 2010 the law is changing and many contractors and sub-contractors who were not previously CRB checked will be required by law to register with the ISA through the Vetting & Barring Scheme. A CRB check forms part of this process. For more information concerning the ISA Scheme and the impact it will have on you, please either visit www.isa-gov.org.uk or contact a member of the Capita E-Bulk Umbrella Team on 0870 850 2516. Capita Recruitment Vetting Service (CRVS) will be able to assist you with the ISA registration process when the new legislation comes into force.

The ECS CRB ID check card

Holders of ECS cards are now able to request a separate photo identity CRB check card, which will confirm their clearance by the CRB.

What’s involved?

Candidates must complete an online CRB Disclosure Application Form (DAF), which will ask you to provide personal information and previous address details covering the past five years. Proof of current address and verification of your identity will also be required.

How to apply

For further information on CRB checks call 0870 850 2516 and ask for the E-Bulk Umbrella Team quoting your ECS, JIB Card Number or your ECA Membership Number. A member of the team will explain the process to you.
