Workers escape suitability checks

The Labour MP who instigated a key piece of child protection legislation said last week that the Government is not doing enough to stop organisations from ignoring the results of their own vetting and employing adults who may pose a risk to children. Debra Shipley, MP for Stourbridge in the West Midlands, said that while attention has focused on the backlog of teachers waiting to be vetted by the Criminal Records Bureau, private tutors and those running sporting activities are not covered by the Protection of Children Act 1999, which she piloted on to the statute book. The Act obliges childcare organisations, including those providing accommodation, social services or health-care, to check whether any applicant is on the health department list of people deemed unsuitable to work with children.
