CRB clearances

Every Transform trip involves meeting, or working with, children or young people. Because of this, everyone who goes on a Transform trip needs to have been cleared by the Criminal Records Bureau before they can travel.

*EVEN IF YOU HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY CLEARED BY A CRB CHECK, YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE A NEW ONE FOR YOUR TRIP.*

Our standard procedure is to get applicants to bring all their ID etc. to the orientation and fill out a CRB form there. As the process can take up to two months to get clearance, if your orientation is less than two months before you travel, we will make alternative arrangements on an individual basis. This may involve you visiting one of Tearfund's regional offices.

What you need to bring to orientation...

You must bring complete details of your addresses for the last five years. THIS MUST INCLUDE ALL POSTCODES.

For ID you must bring 3 of the following items:

Passport; Driving Licence; Birth Certificate; Marriage Certificate

If you do not have 3 of the above items, you have two further options:

1) Bring one document from Group 1 and any two from Groups 1 or 2.

2) Bring five documents from Group 2.

All documents must be in your current name.
At least one must show your current address.
