RDA and CRB

It is a requirement of RDA Membership that volunteers are CRB checked. CRB Checks are provided free of charge.

Currently this applies to

All new volunteers*
All Child/Vulnerable Persons Protection Officers (CVPO)
All Group Instructors

RDA National is an umbrella body and can carry out checks for RDA Groups. There is no requirement to use RDA National to complete a check, if the RDA Group is registered with the CRB or has a more convenient local method of completing the check.

In order to be able to complete a check the Group must have a Child/Vulnerable Person Protection Officer in place.

* - there may be some exemptions to this, in the case of short-term volunteers, or those coming to an RDA Group through a third arty (eg school students). For more information, please contact RDA.
