Guest AnubisUK Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hi everyone, First of all, I just want to say a massive thanks to everyone for the help they've given me, as I only seem to be asking stuff at the moment. I do appreciate all the help! Unfortunately I have a massive problem related to my teaching registration with the Victoria Teacher's Institute to do with my CRB checks. Because I've lived outside Australia the application form says I need to provide my CRB documents from my time in the UK, and the problem is I no longer have the official documents (lost in transit months ago). The main trouble is that you can't get re-prints of your CRBs, and I can't re-apply for an enhanced disclosure in the UK because I have no employer to counter sign it! I looked into Subject Access Reports that you get from the police but not sure if they'd be accepted. Does anyone know if a basic disclosure would be accepted here, as I can still apply for one of those (I think! I need to call them tomorrow to check). If not, does anyone have any idea at all about what I could do?? Or have I just screwed myself out of any teaching work in Melbourne? :cry: If the basic disclosure isn't enough I was hoping they might accept character references from the heads of the schools I taught at in the UK. I mean, if i'd failed my CRB check in the UK I wouldn't have gotten a job at those schools!! If anyone has any ideas I would be so so grateful!!!

Guest TaniaandRob Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 You can get a CRB check without an employer. You need to contact the local police station where you last lived in the UK and they can organise it. or When we did our visa we were required to get an ACPO police check not a CRB. It costs you money but is also fast. They are specifically for visa applications but might also work for you if you can't manage to get your CRB.

ACPO: Police Certificates Thanks :smile: Is that an enhanced disclosure I can get through the police? I thought the police version was the subject access report. I'll look into the ACPO as well :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
