Do you have your CRB check for your CQC registration?

Since May 2012, an online process has allowed providers to obtain a CRB disclosure number for their CQC registration. Applicants will need to register with the CQC CRB. You can do this by visiting  https://cqc.disclosures.co.uk/ and clicking on the link under the heading ‘How to Apply.’


Once you've completed your online CRB application, you'll be asked to print out a referral letter. You'll need to take this and the proof of identification requested in the form to one of 300 Post Offices to verify your identity.You will then receive your CQC-countersigned, enhanced level CRB certificate in the post. The process should take about one week though it may be longer.



However, don’t apply too early for these checks, they are only valid for six months and need to be valid at the time the CQC assesses your application. It is recommended applying no earlier than two months before you plan to submit your application, e.g. if you choose to submit your form in December, don’t apply for your CRB check until October.
