Adoption question?
|
Hi, we are currently thinking about adopting, we have been told that crb checks will have to be done, i totally agree with that, however social services will have to be contacted in the previous places we have lived, again we have no problem with that either, but what i want to know is what are they checking for as i would assume that the crb checks would of covered everything? thanks.

CRB checks only cover if you have a criminal record. The Social Services check is more of a background check on what sort of person you are. This website explains the different checks: http://www.bemyparent.org.uk/info-for-families/your-questions/why-do-i-need-to-have-so-many-checks,124,AR.html
Hope everything goes well! |

crb checks just cover criminal records where as the social services would have the more personal over view of the house and family background and how you the couple is and if they can look after the child and provide for them =]
good luck! |

CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check on any past criminal background or suspicions surrounding the individuals checked. Social Services may have non-criminal related material which they hold which may be relevant to the adoption. It could also include information regarding the wider family which may not come out in the CRB checks. Best of luck to you. |

They are not really that invasive. They check whether you have a criminal/police record.
Good luck with the adoption process. Hope you are successful as it process is now long and drawn out. |
