Taking Ofsted out of the loop on Criminal Records Bureau checks was a sensible move. Rather less sensible is the recent announcement that the DfES subsidy which pays for CRB checks on daycare staff will not apply to repeat checking. Any person moving from one setting to another will have a new check paid for out of public funds. But settings that want to check their staff regularly - which is purely voluntary - will have to fork out 50 a time, plus VAT which they cannot recover.
