ASA Portability Service
Important Change to the ASA Portability Service of CRB Enhanced Disclosures Certificates
Important Change to the ASA Portability Service of CRB Enhanced Disclosures Certificates for ASA Affiliated Clubs and Swim Schools came in to effect on the 1st January 2008 in line with the CRB Code of Practice.
As a result of this change the ASA no longer provides a portability service for CRB Enhanced Disclosure Certificates issued by other registered / umbrella body organisations.
The ASA endeavored to offer a portability service prior to January 2008 but this became increasingly difficult due to the withdrawal of support from other registered and umbrella bodies, who will not share information they have received with the ASA. Accordingly and with regret this service was withdrawn with effect from the 1st January 2008.
All ASA affiliated club and swim school members must complete a CRB application form regardless of any previous enhanced disclosure they have with another organisation, however recent.
Any applicant enclosing a previous disclosure certificate will have their application returned unprocessed by the ASA CRB Department.
Further information on the CRB guidelines for portability can be found on their website at www.crb.gov.uk. Any queries can be referred to crb@swimming.org.
Individuals applying for an ASA Teachers and Coaches License should refer to the CRB information provided on the ASA website at www.swimming.org or contact licensing@swimming.org.
