CRB Checks

SportActiv has embarked upon attaining CRB Registered body status - ongoing process.

If your club or organisation would like to incorporate Criminal Records Bureau checks into their recruitment process as part of your plans to help safeguard children,  CRB have a search facility which will help you find an 'Umbrella Body' (a body authorised to process Disclosure checks) in your area who can do this for you.

One local Umbrella Body is the Barnsley Association of Community Partnerships.

Helping Keep your Child Safe in Sport

 An invaluable new resource has been launched by DCMS to help parents and carers protect children while making sure they have the best possible experience from sport. The leaflet gives the advice needed to help them ask the right questions about important child protection measures that sports providers should have in place.  The information parents and carers provide and the example they set can give children the knowledge and confidence they need to deal with potentially threatening or abusive situations.  To download the leaflet visit http://www.culture.gov.uk/Reference_library/Publications/archive_2007/safeinsport.htm
