I have been given a form to fill in for a CRB check, and for some reason I'm finding it rather an affront.
I know it is nothing personal, and am aware of the kind of problem that has led to it being required. But as I only reluctantly (and occasionally) play for services and there are no children in the choir I feel miffed at having to provide very personal details and documentary proof of same.
Has anyone ever declined to fill in one of these things and then lived to regret it? I had plans at one time to start up a choir but there was no interest at the time and so I put the notion on hold whilst carrying other plans forward.
There is no question of a murky past, I hasten to add!
What would others do?
