i tried calling but a machine answered, asking me to leave all the information, so i e-mailed them instead.

any idea how long it usually takes for the application forms to arrive.

thanks in advance

If you're in the UK, then you can apply online. It shouldn't take more than a few days for the forms to arrive at your home address. If you're living overseas, you'll have to make a postal application, and the forms are sent out by surface mail, and can take anywhere from two weeks up to a month or more depending on where you live.

They usually respond quite quickly to email queries, though you can just try to call again, until you eventually get through. Never had the answer phone when I called them.

It's probably going to take 10-14 days or so to get the actual CRC, depending on how busy they are. Might be an idea to order two copies.

I'm applying for the paper version so I can get notorised by them.

Oh thanks for that hun, I couldn't find a direct link to the online application form though, if you don't mind could you either post it here or PM it to me please.

I have a very recent Enhanced CRB as until recently I was looking for work in social care.. could I use this (providing i get it notarized) even though it says position applied for 'Social Worker' and name of employer 'Randstad Care'? Or do I need to get a basic disclosure myself??

[elliot79]

hun you can use that one. the first CRB i sent off said 'voluntary admin worker'

just get it notorised, but don't go to a notary public like i did, i totally got ripped off.

if a solictor's stamp will suffice, do that.

the notary public charged me �236:00 for notorising and and getting my certifciates and CRB apostilled.

thanks hun xx

[elliot79]

just filled it in but it didn't ask me to upload any of my certificates, e.g. electricty bill or bank statement.

is this because i've lived at my current address for more thna 12 months or because I had an enhanced CRB number that I entered do you think?

sorry if i sound paranoid or stupid but the past few weeks have made me very paranoid :/

You need to send off your bank statement/utility bill, nat'l insurance card, driver's license, passport info page etc to them after you've made your online application. You can either fax them over, post them, or scan them and then email them off. Make sure you do it ASAP. Also, make sure you write down your application number on each copy so that they know who those documents belong to. Any further problems, just email them or call. They're pretty good at dealing with enquiries.

thanks hun, i've e-mailed them my scanned copies and written my reference number on the e-mail.

I'll give them a call in an hour's time as well.

thanks heaps for your help xx
