We have a wealth of experience and expertise which we use to ensure our service users get the best possible service. We are one of the CRB's top volume users and are unique in that we are a national body providing free access checks for the voluntary sector.

Welcome to WCVA Criminal Records Unit

Established in 2003 WCVA CRU is an Umbrella Body for the CRB. We are funded by the Welsh Government to help voluntary organisations and regulated care provisions for children under 8 years old registered with CSSIW gain access to the CRB service for free.

We are uniquely placed to provide advice and guidance on the Independent Safeguarding Authority and the Protection of Freedoms Bill.
