Google it, theres a company in Scotland does them about £30 I think for the basic check.

Not sure about the enhanced one though.

As above for a basic check, for an enhanced check, you need to have a company/governmental establishment support you for it, as they're generally not transferable between jobs. (They can be released, but they are specific for job titles etc.)

Criminal records checks

 

Accepting a previously-issued CRB check

 

Ultimately it is for the employer to determine whether to accept a previously-issued CRB check. However you should consider the following before making a decision:

 

The applicant's criminal record or other relevant information may have changed since its issue.

The decision made by a Chief Police Officer to disclose information on a CRB check was made based on the position for which the CRB check was originally applied for. You cannot assume that no other intelligence would be disclosed for a different position.

Enhanced checks may contain 'additional' non-conviction information which is withheld from the applicant's copy in the interests of the prevention or detection of crime. If you choose to accept the applicant's copy of a previous check you will need to find out from the previous Countersignatory if any additional information was revealed in a separate letter.

The information revealed was based on the identity of the applicant, which was validated by another Registered Body, at the time that the original check was requested. Therefore, you should ensure that the identity details on the certificate match those of the applicant.

If you are contacted by another organisation about a previously issued CRB check, any information disclosed can only be passed to individuals who need to see it as part of the recruitment decision. This also applies to any additional information provided by the police within a separate letter.
