Agnes, I wouldn't be so sure it does cover you for teaching in your
own home.... also the certificate only lasts for 3 years and then has
to be done again! I was CRB checked just under 3 years ago for
cleaning in the community centre (where I came into contact with....
the other cleaner who is older than I am!! I then had to be enhanced
CRB checked separately for the School crossing patrol, and the school
needed the number of the certificate AND the expiry date! Also, I'm
on the Management Committee of the Community Centre soooo, you guessed
it.... I had to be CRB checked for that too!
Another friend of mine (not Agnes) is a teacher, she goes to different
schools in the York area, and to people's homes... she has been
checked for EACH school and for the charity she works for too! As
Agnes says, the country has gone completely crazy!
My advice to you Carol would be to write to your MP at the House of
Commons and ask them! They are legally obliged to reply to you and
you may get a definite ruling on the situation!!

Hello Carol
I too teach adults and children (Englsih and foreign languages in my
case) either on a privately arranged basis, or
contracted by our local College.
I had to be checked to teach adults at the local ferry company
(ridiculous), and the college (for whom I worked for 14 years) paid
for it,
which luckily covers me for now for teaching mainly teenagers in my/
their home.
