Lester_Bigot Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I must have had 5 Police Checks over the last few years, and each one shows clear, I now have to produce some ID to my employer, so I can prove I am who I am, and not an illegal immigrant or something. In terms of the CRB check, Do you agree with it ? do you not mind having to produce ID, Birth Certificates etc... Is it a good thing in your opinion ? Or Do you feel its time the Government, stopped pussyfooting around, and cracked down on the real Criminals, and stopped inconveniencing Law Abiding People. Ian Huntly, apparently had a Police Check, yet he still managed to get a Job working with Children, which led to the deaths of 2 children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 They may not be perfect, but CRB checks are a darn sight better than doing nothing to check on people who have contact with vulnerable groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.B.Yaffle Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 CRB checks are important for some areas of work, such as people who are working with vulnerable people or children for example. Rather than saying that because Ian Huntley slipped through the net we should just do away with any checking, I would argue that lessons may need to be learnt from his case and the checks could be made more rigorous.

pinklady Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I think they are a must when working wih any vunerable group, it may not be a perfect solution, but it keeps the 'known' dangerous away from the innocent ________ Silver surfer reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lester_Bigot Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Totally agree with the setiments some are not worth the paper they are written on . Good earner though as they are over £30 EACH. Good earner, totally agree. Completely useless when stopping real criminals such as Pedofiles (can't spell) A rope is a far greater deterrent to a Pedofile, than a CRB check, and far more effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lester_Bigot Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 lessons may need to be learnt We are always learning lessions, thats the problem and its the Children who pay the price, for these lessons/slips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sall242003 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I work in childcare and all our staff have to be CRB checked before they can start work. The problem is they take a very long time to be done, we are currently waiting for one to come back and it has taken over 2 months so far and we cannot employ the person until the CRB comes back clear. CRB checks are essential for ALL people working with children in my opinion so they should be a priority and completed as quickly as possible to avoid the wrong people coming into contact with our children.

FairyNormal Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I am police checked as I work in a school and have no objection at all. Mine was returned 3 times though because of insufficient evidence of who I was. I don't drive so have no license, I don't have a passport, I lost my original birth certificate and copies don't count, most of my bills are via email and my banking is done online so no statements anymore. It was a complete nightmare but I got there in the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
