updated information is held on an applicant

any changes must be approved by Parliament. This may take up to 2

Years. For now CRB say carry on “Business as Normal”

CRB News issued 21 March 2011

Steve Long, CRB Chief Executive says:"These changes will not be immediate and we will be working with the ISA

and the Home Office to understand the impact of the changes and develop plans to implement them at the earliest opportunity.   A number of the changes will require new primary legislation and will take time to complete but we will continue to keep you informed through the usual channels when we know more.

"In the meantime, it is business as usual for the CRB and you should continue to submit applications for CRB checks as normal."
