Important Change to the ASA Portability Service of CRB Enhanced Disclosure Certificates

The ASA will not be processing CRB Enhanced Disclosure Certificates issued by other registered / umbrella body organisations from 1st January 2008.

The ASA have endeavoured to offer a portability service but this has been increasingly difficult due to the withdrawal of support from other registered bodies, who will not share information they have received with the ASA.  Accordingly and with regret this service will be withdrawn with effect from 1st January 2008.

All ASA clubs and licence applicants will have to complete a CRB application form regardless of any previous enhanced disclosure they have with another organisation, however recent. 

Any applicant enclosing a previous disclosure certificate after the 1st January 2008 will have their application returned unprocessed by the ASA CRB Department.

Further information regarding the CRB guidelines on portability are available on their website at www.crb.gov.uk.
