Woop-de-doo.... after quite a bit of waiting, and too-ing and fro-ing, my enhanced CRB clearance form popped through the letter box this morning - yay! That means that I'm officially cleared to work/volunteer with kids, so can get straight in there tryin to get more school experience after Easter. I knew there wouldn't be any problem getting cleared (don't worry, i have no dodgy secret past), I was just worried about getting it done by post-easter,as I've heard stories of the CRB process taking ages.

I now await my 2nd 'paid for' (grrrrr - £33) CRB form, with "Trainee Teacher" on it, instead of "Classroom Volunteer", before September...
