Currently I am unable to work as a supply teacher, as all the companies I have approached require a comprehensive Police Check. As I have lived and worked abroad (Canada) within the last five years (Nov 2007 - July 2008) I require a Canadian Police check in addition to the English CRB. Within my English CRB applications I have to state the fact I lived and worked overseas, and state my Canadian addresses, so the UK can do the appropriate searches - yet sadly this is not enough for the supply agencies. The Canadian Police Check can take up to 18 weeks from arrival to process - so I am still waiting!
Obtaining a Canadian CRB:

1. Apply for form (this must be sent from Canada!)
2. Arrange a fingerprinting with UK Police
3. Have fingerprints taken and pay £80 for the privilege!
4. Send form off (by internationally recorded post)
5. After the customary 18 weeks apply in writing as to the status of your application.
6. Continue Waiting!
