Guest Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 You can sign up with an individual company, there was a choice of 3... we do ours with TMG and haven't had any problems at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 We use Capita; however they can take a while to return them and have lost a couple so we have had to submit and phone and keep chasing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttercup Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 we use TMG if you go on their wedsite site it will give you the info you need. Off the top of my head. All paid staff are free. volunteers are free if used for ratios. As i said they have a good website with all the info you need. angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I use Tmg they are very goo very prompt with replies also very self explanatary paper work. They do them free for settings I think that are registered under Ofsted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestar Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 I clicked on the side menu that said something like child care and it said that they were free http://www.tmgcrb.co.uk/dc/dcorder.htm# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I telephoned TMG this afternoon and the woman i spoke to assured me it would cost £50 for a recheck, even if I register with them! So, on that reckoning, it's cheaper to start again and do a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellerkaren Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Narnia are you the manager of the setting we were told by TMG that only the manager needed to pay this fee as the MANAGERS CRB DOES NOT RUN OUT i found this very strange but as the manager of the setting i still paid the fee as I felt that even the manger needs to be checked every 3 years like the rest of my team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 yes, I am the manager, so £50 from them...any cheaper alternatives?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I have had it in writing from both Ofsted and TMG that no-one's CRB needs to be renewed on a three year basis unless they have had a significant amount of time away from their position. I had to investigate this as I know our LA and some others were starting to insist that they be renewed every three years. Our LA has now backed down under guidance from Ofsted and we only need to renew/recheck if we have a concern or the person has been away from work for a period of time. We also have our management committee checked by TMG and Ofsted still cover the cost of that - thank goodness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 That's good news ! I was just about to embark on renewing our staff's checks. Once again the great people on this site come up with the goods, THANK YOU. One less job to do :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
