Excellent Service Thank you
Bupa homes Reed Medical books
Medilink Nursing Ltd is an Umbrella Body, accredited by the CRB
(Criminal Records Bureau).At last, a quick and efficient umbrella body service
We will take away your CRB Disclosure application worries.
Because we have had years of experience dealing with the CRB, if problems arise, we have the 'know how' to solve them quickly, so you dont have to.
Processing a large number of requests each year for ourselves and our clients Medilink's experience ensures that we offer an efficient and conscientious CRB application solution.
We have been registered with the Criminal Record Bureau since it started and have successfully applied for thousands of Disclosures.
The majority of our requests come from care organisations and small agencies, however, non-care organisations are welcome to register with ourselves providing they are eligible to ask Exempted questions.
Real people answering the phone!
What is an Umbrella body?An Umbrella Body acts as an intermediary between the CRB and the employing organisation.
As a registered Umbrella body we concentrate on making the complicated parts of the CRB service and process as easy as possible for yourselves.
We will process all your Disclosure requests efficiently and will provide this service at a low cost.
By using our service you will have:
No yearly registration fees (saving £300.00 per year)No minimum number off applications to submitLow cost quick serviceExperts on the phone to deal with any queriesNo Disclosure worries, we will do all the work
We make a complicated service appear simple
A step by step easy to follow explanation of how it worksStep 1. You register with ourselves free of charge (click on free information for your free pack)
Step 2. You send the Disclosure application forms directly to us
Step 3. We make sure the application is correctly completed and that you've verified the authenticity of the applicants documents.
Step 4. We countersign then submit the application to the CRB (within 24 hours of receipt from the applying organisation).
Step 5. Once received we forward the Disclosure certificate back to the applying organisation (within 24 hours of receipt).Obviously there is a little more to the application process than this, but that is for us to worry about, NOT YOU.
The difference is, we care
Protection Of Vulnerable Adults "PoVA"PoVA List, this is a list of people banned from working with vulnerable adults.
We offer a cost effective PoVA first check as part of our umbrella service. It is an almost immediate solution to your staffing problems, it can however only be used to make sure staffing levels are inline with statutory requirements.
A check of the PoVA list is part of the Enhanced or Standard level of Disclosure.
Regulations were introduced in July 2004 to allow care workers to start work in care homes, domiciliary care agencies and nurse agencies, following a PoVA check. We can now provide the results of the PoVA check (known as a PoVA first), usually within 48 hours of an excepted CRB application.
A PoVA first is simply a check of the PoVA list, but the results can be obtained via email from the CRB by ourselves. Results can only be obtained providing a full disclosure is currently being processed.
A negative match cannot be assumed, it is a criminal offence to apply for care work while on the PoVA list but, there have been a high percentage of positive matches nationwide.
You can always rely on us!
Fees for our Umbrella service| Disclosure Type | Service fee | CRB fees (Free for volunteers) | Total Cost |
| Enhanced | £4.99 | £36.00 | £40.99 |
| Standard | £4.99
| £31.00
| £35.99 |
We offer a fantastic service and great value for money. Our fee reflects the quality of service we provide. Because this is such an important aspect of recruitment, don't leave it to chance. Let a professional company look after you.
If a PoVA first Request is required, an
additional £10 will be added to the total fee payable.
We will accept
Disclosure vouchers issued by Jobcentre Plus in place of the CRB fee; they do not however cover the service fee. Vouchers should be sent with the application.
All fees are payable in advance, i.e. sent with the application.
We require only the receipt of a cheque and do not require funds to clear before we proceed with the application.
Volunteers, subject to meeting the requirements, will only need to pay the service fees.
Definition of a volunteer:
"a person who is engaged in any activity which involves spending time, unpaid (except for travelling and other approved out-of-pocket expenses), doing something which aims to benefit someone (individuals or groups) other than or in addition to close relatives".
A quality service, why pay more!
How we operate the serviceUnlike some Umbrella bodies we will:
- Make no charge to register with our service.
- Advise on, and provide the necessary policies to satisfy the requirements of the CRB
- Obtain the application forms
- Advise and assist with the identification process and with the completion of the application forms
- Check, countersign and submit the applications
All Disclosure Certificates will be forwarded back to the applying organisation promptly.
After registration we will provide you with a useful pack giving guidance on how to complete all the forms.
The service is provided under contract with the registered manager of the registering organisation.We do not require a minimum number of applications from our clients.
The agreement can be cancelled at any time without financial penalty.
Medilink Nursing is required to comply with the Criminal Record Bureau code of practice and take all reasonable steps to ensure that those to whom the service is being provided are also able to comply with relevant obligations of the same code.
We therefore provide guidance in respect of policies on recruitment of ex-offenders and on the handling and storage of sensitive personal data of disclosures.
I'm so glad we found you.
Frequently asked questionsWhy use Medilink for your Disclosure applications?
Medilink make a complicated service very simple. We offer a very cost effective solution and we back it up with a professional quality service. There may be cheaper alternatives, but with something this important, do you dare risk it?
What do I do next?
Registering with our service is quick and easy.
The registered manager should complete the nominated signatory registration documentation,sign the "umbrella service" contract and return to Medilink Nursing Ltd in order for us to setup your account.
Who will receive the disclosure?
The applicant will receive their copy by post directly form the CRB.
A copy will also be sent to the Umbrella Body (Medilink Nursing Ltd) who then pass it on to the employing organisation.
How long is a Disclosure valid?
Each Disclosure will show the date on which it was provided. The older the Disclosurethe less reliable it becomes. However, there is currently no expiry date printed on the form.
Why should I use an umbrella body?
There are a number of benefits to accessing CRB checks via an Umbrella Body. These are:
The Umbrella Body acts as an interface between your organisation and the CRB so that you can concentrate on your own business.
The Umbrella Body will administer the process and acquire the CRB check on your organisation's behalf.
Umbrella Bodies are able to offer a great deal of experience in handling and processing CRB checks that can pay dividends in ensuring that the check is completed as quickly as possible.
You may only require a small number of checks per annum and cannot meet the threshold requirements or the terms for direct registration.
You may require help and assistance in order to comply with certain obligations contained in the CRB's Code of Practice.
You might lack the necessary administration resource or the relevant expertise in handling criminal record information.
How long will it take to receive the result of my check?
The Criminal Records Bureau takes around 4 weeks to process an application. The applicant will receive a disclosure certificate sent directly to their address; Medilink Nursing will also receive a certificate which we forward to the client.

Disclosure Types ExplainedEnhanced Disclosure
These are for posts that involve a far greater degree of contact with children or vulnerable adults. In general the type of work will involve regularly caringfor, supervising, training or being in sole charge of such people. Examples includea teacher, Scout or Guide leader. Enhanced checks are also issued for certain statutory purposes such a gaming and lottery licences.
Standard Disclosures
These are primarily for posts that involve working with children or vulnerable adults. Standard checks may also be issued for people entering certain professions, such as members of the legal and accountancy professions. The Standard check contains details of all convictions held on the PNC including current and spent convictions as well as details of any cautions, reprimands or final warnings. If a position involves working with children, the CRB check will indicate whether information is held on three government lists of those who are banned from working with children or the vulnerable.
