List 99 checks

A List 99 Check is the information held under Section 142 of the Education Act 2002. The list is maintained by the Department for Children Schools and Families (DCSF) and contains the details of those who are considered unsuitable or banned from working with children.

A List 99 Check is not a replacement for a CRB, but is considered to be the absolute minimum a person working with children must have.

If you would like an employee to start working prior to receiving a CRB Disclosure, you must ensure “that all the other recommended and mandatory pre-recruitment checks are carried out, including List 99.” -Safeguarding Children and Safer Recruitment in Education.

If your employee has a CRB Disclosure, it is not necessary to have them checked against the List 99 as this would have already been carried out within the CRB process.

To carry out a List 99 check, fill out all details in the form below. If you are not a registered Ofsted Day Nursery, please call 0844 504 5504 to make a payment for this service.
