this appears to have the possibility of degrading to the Hitler state before WW2

So let me get this right ....you need a CRB check to drive children to sports and other clubs ..........

BUT anyone can have a baby and keep it .......with or without a crimnial record with or without the ability to raise a child ........

dont make sence to me

I MAY be wrong, but methinks it only applies to ORGANISED Bus trips.......taking yours and a mates kids to football practice using your own car,doesn't count, as far as I am aware

The 'official' talking on the radio this morning didn't seem too sure, Bob. Seems like a bit of a 'focus group knee jerk reaction' to me.

'Good idea - lets do it' - think it through - good heavens we don't need to do that!

That is an interesting thing because it raises the question of who is responsible for getting one of the checks done. For instance, I help out with a group of Rainbows so my CRB check was organised by Girlguiding UK, so I wonder whether the organisation will make similar arrangements for all of their volunteers, unit leaders etc.

The thing that strikes me is, if the responsibility is on the individual person as against the organisation, it would take a lot of sorting out by the organisation to make sure that everybody involved was checked. (And that's not allowing for errors - I had to put the names of two referees down when I did my CRB check and somehow Girlguiding managed to send the form my referee had to fill in to my address - so I had to forward it on!)

May I just add that I am a cleaner in a school and I have had to have a CRB check. We have little contact with the children as they are normally all out of school when we get there. The contract cleaning company pays for it in my case.
