Default Criminal checks 4 the kids??

Tell me thats not right?

Went into my local police station today to get the forms for a criminal history check, I was told that I would need 4, .....Wife, 17 year old and 11 year old?

Now I can understand mine and the wife, and almost the 17 year old ....... but 11??

There was a time you HAD to have a criminal record to go at all!!!!!


Call me cynical but is it just yet another way of generating a little more income?

Not cynical at all!! Is a bit strange isn't it?? Our son is 5, didn't have to get him one? I thought it was only for when you were 18 and over?

Hi
we had ours done in september. we have 2 kids 14 and 11 and we did not have to do them for them.
went into the local station who gave us the main number and i explained what we wanted and they just sent the forms. completed them and sent them back with £10 each and got them back within a month.
very stress free.
hope theis helps

You do need to get the police check done for the 17 year old, but not for the 11 year old.

16 is always the threshold. However it's a grey area between 16 and 17 because they normally look for 12 months residence in a country since 16th birthday before asking for a police check.

The threshold is assessed at date of decision not date of application.
