How can an individual apply for ISA registration?
Individuals should apply for ISA registration through an employer/professional body or an umbrella body. A list of umbrella bodies can be found on the CRB’s website. Once the individual is registered they will be issued with a unique ID number. A prospective employer will need to seek the individual’s permission and obtain their ID number to access details about their ISA status. The CRB will issue new application forms to all registered bodies well in advance of the go live date in July 2010 so that employers can ensure that their staff are appropriately trained and changes to their own systems and procedures can be implemented. The new form will allow you to apply for ISA registration and a CRB check on the same form. [Individuals in Northern Ireland will need to apply through AccessNI.
