CRB Checks

For any groups struggling with the question whether or not they need to carry out Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks on volunteers, the government has just published a helpful guide. Download a copy of the guide here, or visit the Cabinet Office Website for more information.

Community Allowance

Do you think there should be a change to the benefits system so that community organisations can pay people to do work for their neighbourhood without it affecting their benefits? The CREATE Consortium wants to see the introduction of a Community Allowance. Follow this link to find out more and see a video clip from Milton Keynes.
