Hey VJers,

I was just reading through previous posts, and another VJer suggested that when applying for an IR-1/CR-1, the USC may need police certificates as well. :blink: My wife and I both live in the UK and are doing DCF in London, and while I have already sent for UK police certificates, she hasn't. I haven't heard anything about the USC (my wife, in this case) needing UK police certificates before this. It could be the other person was just confused, but could someone clear this up for us, please?

Thanks!

Tim

Didn't want to start a new topic as this is on the same lines - sort of. I have sent for the police certificate but as I helped in a school until recently I also have a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Enhanced Disclosure document. Should I use this instead? Is it "better" by that I mean will it make things move any quicker!!

Long way off as yet but I leik to be prepared.

Thanks

Emma

Phew! That's a relief. Thanks for your help. :thumbs:

Sorry Emma I don't know the answer to your question. Anyone else know? Might be worth starting a new topic if no one else responds.

No, you need the Police Certificate. What you have is insufficient.
