From the 3rd December 2012 the CRB and ISA will be merged into a Non Departmental Public Body to  be known as the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

In order to assist clubs with this process, a newletter can now be downloaded with more information from this link http://www.uka.org.uk/governance/policies/crb/

Athletics in the UK is well placed to accept all the changes being brought in with little if any impact on our method of checking applicants.

There will be some further changes in early 2013 but details are yet to be finalised, there will be a  Government briefing on those, however some changes relate to single certificates and a new update service which if provided free to volunteers would be positive for the sport.

Please contact the UKA Welfare and Safeguarding team if you have any queries on http://www.uka.org.uk/governance/welfare-and-safeguarding/about-the-uka-welfare-team/
