Thanks for the comments on this. Yes, Pam  I mean newly appointed staff and yes it is taking weeks.Our enquiry went in at the end of July and we are being told it is likely to be October before they come through.

  Hi Pam
  I think schools will grind to a halt if that is the case.  I was recently appointed as a staff governor and it took four weeks for my clearance to come through.  I'm sure most schools appoint a TA on day 1 and need them in the classroom with the pupil on day 2 or the pupil can't learn effectively!

    Funnily enough I have been in touch with our HR today regarding CRBs. Their 
    advice used to be that we could employ people awaiting checks as long as 
    they had the satisfactory 2 references, and they were not left on their own 
    with pupils. The advice now is that for all employess and volunteers they 
    should not be in school at all until the check is completed satisfactorily.

    Hope this helps

    Pam

    What do you all do with teaching assistants between appointment and CRB 
    checks to coming though?
    Does anyone know the legal situation? Does anyone have any views on good 
    practice?

    Many thanks for comments on sixth formers
