Title: CRB check
Post by: GROWLER on February 04, 2009, 09:03:16 AM
Mini Moose has very kindly offered to help supervise young disabled kids go horsey riding this coming Spring.
She's got to have a CRB check done! eeek:

'They' apologise for the intrusion and any inconvieneince this may cause her.

Fire brigade on it's way to extinguish me bladder. Angry9:

How old is she?

Does this mean that The Boy has to be CRB checked cos he comes into contact with younger kids at his school? Bonkers

14.
Is The Boy working with kids though, that's the 'key' element...apparently.

Mini Moose is doing this voluntarily. No pay. Duke of Edinburgh award scheme.
I give up. This country has gone completely shit.

I work with and amogst kids, yet I haven't had or got to have a CRB check done by law (not compulsary, but adviseable apparently) as I'm on my own. i.e I haven't got an employer.

You don't have to Growler but it may well be advisable to get one as the authorities say. Parents are getting very peculiar about it and it would be good to stick it on the website. I'm not even allowed to cross the school threshold when the kids are there as mine is out of date.

Any person who is in a position of influence over children (and that would apply to Mini Moose in this context) needs to be "cleared". FFS Mrs S#2 teaches adults but because some of them are classed as "vulnerable" (loonies to you and me) she has to be cleared.

This is nulabour's answer to all child and vulnerable adult abuse. Of course the checks with the CRB are (i) often wrong and (ii) completely useless as they only show unspent convictions NOT suspicions. In other words if the child mollester has not been caught and sentenced then he/she will not show up on the register. Frankly this piece of legislation is as useless as the dangerous dogs act which you will all note has done nothing to stop stupid people from owning dogs that they cannot control and those dogs attacking people.

It's just another way of taxing us, all this shite.  Angry9:
I have to pay for it to be confirmed i don't have a criminal record, and I'll probably have to pay extra as it has to be done through an employment agency apparently. I can't request one to be done by myself.

Look, if I'm going to 'kiddie fiddle' I'm NOT going to do it whilst I'm working am I?
I'm trying to build a business UP here, NOT bloody knock it down.

Pass me another bladder. Banghead

Post by: Bar Wench on February 04, 2009, 11:59:49 AM
Are you sure you have to go through an employment agency? Pretty sure I got mine as an individual.

You may not be looking to fiddle whilst working but apparently fiddlers look for jobs that involve regular contact with children. Who knows why?
Title: Re: CRB check
Post by: Snoopy on February 04, 2009, 12:06:14 PM
It does not have to be an employment egency ~ in fact many agencies are not registered to seek such information.
There is no law that says you MUST obtain clearance for what you propose to do but it will not sit well with some clients if you don't. Seek legal advice.

Some employers take the law to ridiculous extremes "just in case". Personally I would doubt the need for a 14 year old to be vetted in this way. Check it with your local Social Services.
Is the child in the Guides or similar? They will do the checks for free for you.

Growler would have to pay, being a business, although if he were checked as a result of working (briefly) at a youth club it would be free and the check would still hold for Swamp Inc. . .  whistle:

Sorry old chap, I disagree.

If we put our children in the care others it is a comfort to know they are not perverts or violent rather than allow the likes of Fred West to be scoutmaster or whatever.

I think the problem is here we all "know" Mini Moose. Imagine if it were a 14 year old boy off some dodgy council estate. Sadly in this day and age not all "children" can be trusted.

She's 14 FFS!
SHE is in more 'danger' from the owners of the stables than the disabled kids are from her, check or no bloody check.
Just because you've been CRB'd isn't going to stop a perv from doing whatever it is they do.

Ah ~ if only it worked that way ~ but of course it does not. Dunblane would still have happened. The man was legally in possession of the firearms, cleared to work as a youth leader ~ many had suspicions about him but those are not recorded by the CRB. Ergo no amount of CRB checks would have stopped him.
There is also a difference between that which is recorded by the CRB and those whose names may appear on the sex offenders register.
No system devised by man is ever going to be perfect but the one we have is another political knee jerk reaction that, put simply, is not fit for purpose. Sorry but I have used it often and found it to be flawed. That said I suppose if it stops one pervert then it has done some good.
Remember that the CRB can only record AFTER the event ~ it cannot predict nor does it hold records of suspicions ~ only convictions.

Of course it is flawed, but better than just relying on the vicar thinking they seem OK and regularly attend church.

Sorry Growler, but mini-Moose is only 5 years younger than Myra Hindley when she started. You and we know the Moose is OK, but others don't.
