In the UK anyone working with children or vulnerable adults could need to
have a CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) certificate, which involves checking
the Police National Computer, Independent Safeguarding Authority and others.
You can't just apply for one yourself because you think you might need one -
there has to be an organisation that has asked for it. If you're
self-employed there are registered organisations that can handle the
application for you. You'd probably get away without one for the odd visit
to a school or if self-employed, but I'd want one as a safeguard.
Not that I want to go into a primary or any other school to teach lace (or
anything else for that matter) - 25 years of teaching 15 and 16 year-olds
was enough, but I'm glad others are prepared to do so.
