Criminal Records Checks
From: http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/safeguarding/criminal-records-checks
The FA recognises the collective responsibility we share with our clubs and leagues for children and young people within football. And that's why our policy is straightforward when it comes to Criminal Record Checks (CRC). The CRC is exactly the same as what was formerly known as CRB - Criminal Records Bureau Check.
Anyone working in an eligible* role, directly working with children and young people - such as managers and coaches - completes an FA CRC as part of responsible recruitment practice. This person must then be approved to work in football.
Why do I need one?
Mainly because of football’s overall responsibility to children, their parents and carers.
Rightly, parents and carers are increasingly asking people in football two questions:
1. Are you following the correct procedures when recruiting people to work with children?
2. Are all the relevant people checked?
The response has to be ‘yes’ in both cases if the integrity of clubs, leagues, County FAs and The FA is to be preserved.
