If you are finish work on 31st August and made redundant will your CRB check still be valid if you want to work voluntarily in September?

Answer 1

CRB have been replaced by DBS checks.

Because CRB and DBS certificates are only valid on the day they are issued, they do not have an official expiry date. As such, it is up to the employer or organisation that you will be working for to decide whether they will accept existing certificates.

In order for the organisation to be able to accept it, the certificate must be for the same workforce and level as the one required for the voluntary post. The organisation must perform a risk assessment on the matter of accepting an old certificate. They are well within their rights to request that a new DBS check be carried out.
