People working with vunerable adults should be being checked now, this is not new.<br /><br />I think in the example above, the body requesting the check would be aware of what the applicant would be working with and could judge the results of the CRB in that context.<br /><br />This also applies to people working with young people. People applying to be Scout leaders get CRB checked and the results go to the appropriate commissioner. If the check is not clean the commissioner in question must make a judgement as to whether the offences constitute a risk. Someone with a conviction for fraud may be allowed to help, but not allowed a position where they manage money.<br /><br />Problem is that misjudgements can be made at a local level by people too nervous to allow someone with a totally irrellevant conviction, as much as can be made by office workers treating people being vetted as units.Rankersbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00084424777062659372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-88979588744030864192009-10-08T09:27:56.356+01:002009-10-08T09:27:56.356+01:00I think you know how I feel about this ludicrous l...I think you know how I feel about this ludicrous law. <br />I would be barred from working with vulnerable adults. Yet my doctors consider I have a unique & valuable insight in to helping them to recover.<br />I'm anorexic. A form of self harm. <br />Yet under the guide lines I would be considered a "danger". <br />My personal experience is worth 20 so called experts opinions. <br />Thank you Mark for high lighting this issue.Dippyness.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03074617995848289735noreply@blogger.com
