Piano Tuners are now required to be CRB if they enter schools in the UK
as they are classed as unsupervised workers this only came it force in
2007 However, not one school has ever asked me for my CRB number or
asked if I have Public Liability insurance for that matter most are not
aware of it

 It makes a difference as I do now get more school work and clients do
comment that it is reassuring that I have CRB clearance and members of
the ABPT who also have it  are reporting positive feed back so its worth
the £50.00

I don't know if there is a similar  system in the US but you have Megons
law to curb sex offenders
