Hope
I am still stressed about my course, and specifically getting enough hours for my supervised practice. I have to date contacted 35 different school, health centres and organisations with little results. The one ray of hope is a high school about an hour away. I went to a meeting with the pastoral care teacher on Friday and they were lovely. They took the time to talk to me and they seem to have a good pastoral care programme and a positive atmosphere comes out from that. The school did have a bad reputation in Julies day, but they seem to have out grown that over the past 20 years. I met with both pastoral teachers and even got to sit down with the head. There is a strong possibility that I will get enough hours there.
The only problem is that they might require a fresh police check. I had one done for the course in December, but the school may need one specific to them. They will let me know, so I am still waiting and worrying.

Police checks are specific to the organisation who requests them, so therefore aren't transferable. This means you'll probably need a new one. Sorry pet.
I'm not entirely sure why this is. It would make a lot more sense to have some sort of database with these details on it, so potential employers can check based on a username. That would save the hassle in cases like yours - where you've just had a police check completed, or in mine - where I've lived in 8 different addresses and 3 different countries in the past 3 years and subsequently have accrued a lot of paperwork.

Well, not to make you look wrong or anything.... the school is accepting the police check.
What you suggest, having a data base so that up-to-date info can be given to employers from an online data base will be comming in late this year. Be prepared for it to go wrong a lot, i guess.

Far be it from me to disagree with the policy of the school. But CRBs aren't transferable. Hurrah on not having to get a new one!
Yay for our expectant dread of databases full of our own details.

I’ve nothing to hide either. But there is an odd kind of relief that comes with being told that your security checks are cleared. Even if you’ve never had any run ins with the police. Ever.
