Casting aside for a moment the debate on whether it is required or not, I have contacted a number (3) of umbrella organisations to see where we go from here at our club.
All organisations broadly said the same, that we also need child protection policies which include not to be alone with a child (?) and how to spot abuse and how to deal with disclosures made by children.
We can have help designing the policies and a certificate to display in the reception, but this advice service (extra to individual checks) will cost money. Lots.
I did think it was a good idea to have CRB check, but now I am not so sure.
And now I am even more confused than before.
