Registration
Organisations wishing to become an Umbrella
Body must first register as a CRB Registered Body. Like
Registered Bodies, Umbrella Bodies must satisfy all of the CRB’s Conditions of Registration.
Further guidance on becoming an Umbrella
Body can be found here.
The Conditions of Registration are set out in the Police Act
1997 (Criminal Records) (Registration) Regulation 2006. These
include a requirement that Umbrella Bodies must be able to meet the
minimum application threshold of 100 applications in any 12-month
period.
When you make an application to become an Umbrella Body the CRB
will CRB carry out an eligibility assessment. You will be asked to
complete a pre-registration questionnaire. This questionnaire
will ask for the following information:
- The nature of your business;
- The types of positions to be CRB checked;
- How you will meet the minimum application threshold;
- How you and the recipients of your CRB checks intend to
meet the CRB's Code of Practice; and
- How you intend to meet the Conditions of
Registration.
If you are successful at this pre-registration stage you will
then be sent a formal Registration Application form to be completed
by a senior nominated person in your organisation and pay the £300
registration fee.
This information must be sent to the following address:
Customer Services (Registration)
Shannon Court
10 Princes Parade
Princes Dock
Liverpool
L3 1QY
Please note there is no additional fee if an
existing Registered Body wants to become an Umbrella Body.
