Why do people in football need to have a CRB check?
Not everyone in football needs to have a CRB check. CRB Enhanced Disclosures are only for specific roles. See below for those who need a CRB check: The law requires that The FA does not allow people banned from working with children to be involved in youth football. The CRB check is how The FA identifies people who are banned. It also allows The FA to make responsible recruitment decisions about whether people have criminal histories that might be a potential risk to children. If they do, The FA can prevent them from being involved in youth football.
Not everyone in football needs one. See ‘Do I need an FA Enhanced Disclosure’ (CRB). The law requires that The FA does all that it can to prevent people who are barred from working with children, from becoming involved in football with U18s. The FA Enhanced Disclosure (CRB) tells The FA if a person is barred. It also helps The FA to make informed recruitment decisions about the suitability of people with criminal records who are seeking to have a role with U18s football .
