Will I need CRB checks before being able to work on school sites.

  • Visitors who have business with the Head or other staff or have brief contact with children with a teacher present
  • Visitors who come on site to carry out repairs of service equipment (i.e. children should not, in theory, have contact with contractors).
  • Volunteers or parents who only accompany staff and children on occasional outings and trips that do not involve overnight stays
  • Secondary pupils on Key Stage 4 work experience
  • People on site before or after school hours when children are not present.

In addition to this advice, it is always the prerogative of the Head Teacher as to who is allowed to be on site and under what conditions. It is therefore pertinent that contact with the Head Teacher is made before travelling to site to establish any requirements.
