CRB Service

A Registered Umbrella Body to the Criminal Records Bureau

Does your organisation have a need for CRB checks?
If so, ECDP can help.

Cartoon of a burglarWe are registered with the Criminal Records Bureau as an umbrella organisation, which means we can carry out CRB checks on behalf of other businesses and organisations. Until recently we have offered this service on an invitation only basis, but due to demand we have decided to expand this facility.

We are now offering services to selected organisations and businesses in Essex and surrounding areas at a discounted rate. If you want a friendly, efficient and totally confidential service, providing all the information you need, then feel free to get in touch with us. Process

The CRB service we provide is totally confidential. It is a friendly, fast and efficient service which ensures that you have all the information and advice that you need. We can also track your application and send out automatic renewal reminders when CRB checks need to be updated.

The process is as follows:

  • ECDP can send you a number of blank CRB forms with an information booklet for your organisation
  • Once we have received your completed application, we will check the form and the required identification, and then countersign the application
  • We will then send the checked application to the CRB
  • We can track the application so you know where in the process it has reached
  • When the report is completed, we receive a confidential copy for our records, which are held securely on our premises
  • We can then contact you to let you know that the CRB check has been received by the individual
  • We can send out reminders that CRB checks are up for renewal (if requested)
We can provide this service for anyone in the following sectors: voluntary, education, employment, health care, security, finance, charity, leisure, education, taxi / transport, religion, housing, licensing, sport, community. Cost

The administration cost per applicant is £9.50, plus the cost of the CRB check itself (currently free of charge for volunteers, or £36 per application.)
