Hi Janice
CRB stands for Criminal Records Bureau. Basically they are checking
the CRB to ensure that you've never been involved in anything
'untowards'! However, as someone else said this morning, it is only
up to the date of the check, I remember when I had to show documents
for the first one.... I got funny looks when I pointed out that the
only paper they had in their hands which had not been a 'copy' was my
decree absolute after the divorce. And that was only because it was
embossed with the Court seal! All the others had been replaced via
the internet because I could never find the originals!!! (Marriage,
birth certificates, & my passport was due for replacing anyway!!
Crazy isn't it?!?

Sounds like bureaucracy has gone mad in the UK. Maybe it is an
effort to raise more revenue for a strapped government. Hope it
does not come to this over here. What does CRB stand for? Are they
checking you all for "crabs"? :-) I used to teach in my home around
the kitchen table but I made sure I had an Umbrella policy to cover
any insurance claims should anyone fall on the path or do something
ridiculous to themselves then come after me. I feel, as lacemakers
first, we want to make classes affordable and so do not value our
time as much as we should. I finally quit when my students were not
doing any homework and with elderly ladies it was like starting over
again each week!
Lynne, don't sell yourself short and subsidize the rent. Maybe you
can find somewhere else to teach.
