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.

And she will have to pay for the privilege of having one!

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 I'm not even allowed to cross the school threshold when the kids are there as mine is out of date.

Wasn't there a case recently where teenagers were accused of paedophilia for taking pictures of each other (with their bits out like) on their mobile 'phones...?  noooo:

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
WHY? confused:

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?

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.
