The Scout Association is moving to an electronic application process for CRB checking in England and Wales in 2010. e-CRB, which is the term being used for this electronic process, will allow Appointments Secretaries to submit CRB applications online, reducing postal costs and processing times.
It will also provide the Association with an efficient route to register adults on the Vetting and Barring Scheme when it is implemented in July-November 2010.
