My college wants ME to pay for a CRB check...

The college clearly do not understand the law, there is no requirment for you to have a CRB check. Personally I'd write them a polite letter asking for a copy of the section of ligislation that has changed so you require a CRB check, they will not be able to respond as it does not exist.
CRB checks are required for those working closely and unsupervised with children, not those who happen to go to the same place as them otherwise we would all need a CRB check to go to the cinema and watch toy story.

That's what I thought. He should be asking the college about this as they do not seem to understand the law.

Thread read fail.
I thought this was for a child care based course or something along those lines, if they think you need one just because your in the same building as 16yr olds as has already been said get them to clarify exactly which bit of legislation requires this because their talking rubbish
As others have said, it's a fail on the college's behalf. Unless you are doing Childcare at College or have a work placement which involves you working with children or young people under 16.
Otherwise, everytime you stepped out of your house you'd need a CRB because there's bound to be kids outside somewhere!

This is spot on.
They have mucked up. You have no legal obligation to provide, or pay for, a CRB.
Absolute madness.
No, if it needs to be done it will be on his contract he signed when he joined as a student, if its not they can do one!
My "uni" changes its student regulations all the time but they cant change the contract I legally signed.
I'm agreeing that he doesnt need one unless a specific change in law rather than collage policy dictates he does.
Nice, spend your time well smashing some fresh pasties
Genuine LOL
As far as i recall the labour party prior to their departure were going to ammend the CRB rules such that working with 16-18 year olds didnt require a CRB.
We've already seen 13 and 14 year olds being asked to undertake CRB checks

and the previous system definately defined "children" as being anyone under the age of 18 regardless of them being at the age of sexual consent
maybe the "new legislation" that the college is referring to, is that since the coalition took power the plans to amend the regulations have been abandoned ?
But he is a student himself. He doesn't need a CRB unless he works with vulnerable groups such as children, or the course he is on includes such contact, such as childcare.
You do not need a CRB just to attend college regardless of your age.
