Child Protection Officer
CRB Update April 2011
You may be aware that the government has been reviewing the ISA Vetting and Barring Scheme and CRB arrangements recently with a view to making it less onerous and more straightforward. We've been advised by the BAB that nothing changes for the time being, but the likelihood is that Aikido Clubs will continue to be regulated. However until this is confirmed either way we still need to keep our CRB checks up to date. If anyone requires a CRB check please contact the BAF CPO as soon as possible.
