CRB Checks
It’s IMPORTANT to apply for a CRB check when you book your course to prevent delays starting your group, as they can take 2 to 3 months to process. All Group Leaders need to provide a current UK Athletics Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) clearance prior to starting a group. Please don't plan to start your group until you have received the disclosure. You can find details of applying for your CRB check here.
CRB checks are FREE to volunteers and £44 for non - volunteers
