The Welsh Assembly is to set up a new body to administer applications for criminal records checks on behalf of voluntary organisations working with children. The Wales Council for Voluntary Action has been given the job following concerns from some organisations that they had been unable to obtain checks on volunteers and staff because few organisations registered with the Criminal Records Bureau provided this service to voluntary organisations in Wales. Those that did charged from 17.50 to 70 per check.
