An Enhanced CRB check involves an additional check over and above those that we carry out for a Standard check. This is a check with the police of their records that are not held on the police national computer. The police need to make sure that they have carried out a comprehensive and thorough search of their records and will not sacrifice the accuracy of their checks for speed. As a result some checks do take longer than the anticipated 4 weeks.

The current legislation does not allow the self-employed or individuals to apply for a CRB check on themselves. In addition, parents who employ a nanny/au pair/babysitter directly cannot apply for a CRB check; however, if an agency supplies the nanny/au pair/babysitter, the agency is entitled to carry out a CRB check.
If you are going to work as a paid employee or as a volunteer for an organisation and your work will bring you into contact with children or vulnerable adults, you may be asked to apply for a CRB check. For example, if you are to work as a teacher, care worker, scout & guide leader, registered childminder, sports coach, youth club worker, foster carer or adoptive parent.
A CRB check may also be required for a range of other types of job or licences. If you have been asked to apply for a CRB check you will need to speak to the person who asked you to apply as they will be able to provide you with the application form.
If you have been asked to apply for a CRB check, the CRB has developed a guide that may answer some of your questions, called Applicant’s Guide to the CRB 's Disclosure Service (DIP 017) available in the Resource Library.
If you are worried or concerned about what may be, or has been, revealed by your CRB check you can talk in confidence to the Nacro helpline. Nacro is a crime reduction charity that works with ex-offenders and is able to answer specific queries on good practice in relation to employment and offenders. (T: 020 7840 6464 or Email helpline@nacro.org.uk).

As a teacher I have them all the time...
They generally don't take long - usually about 2 weeks depending upon circumstances etc. If your employers (or prospective employers) are paying for it, they will sometimes let you work (albeit in a limited ~ heavily supervised ~ way) whilst it is being processed - but that is at their discretion.
If you are paying for it yourself it usually depends on how much info you gave on the forms - and how accurate/honest you were!

Depends on who is processing it.
If you are working with vulnerable adults, they can do an online POVA check, once your form has been received, allowing you to work with supervision.
I've just had to put one in for myself - been told its 3 weeks - 9 months wait, with average time of 6 weeks.
