I would say it very much depends on the role she is covering!
Just because she is a level three means nothing in CRB terms.
Is she at anytime left alone with children? Does she offer personal care? if the answer to either of these is yes- then should without doubt have a CRB from your setting.
If she is simply emergency coverstaff that is never alone with children, then although good practice would say she should be CRB in reality by the time the CRB has come through she may not be with you anymore!
When we employ new staff we do not wait until the CRB comes through before we employ them - if we did we could end up waiting months. We just ensure we have references and that they are never alone with children at anytime.
