1st Previous Address History | The CRB require your complete residential history for the past 5 years. This does present some issues with regards to what constitutes "residence" and what can be regarded as an "excursion" or holiday. For the purposes of Disclosures we suggest that you count being in "residence" as contributing financially to the operation of the dwelling e.g. rent, utility services and/or have notified at least two official bodies (DSS, bank, credit card company etc) that they should correspond with you at this address. If you need to use a continuation sheet, please follow the same format as the application form and remember to include the line reference numbers for each address. |
