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.

Taking an 'ultra-careful' approach has led to Aberdeenshire having the highest number of children referred for inquiries into suspected abuse in Scotland, according to Aberdeenshire Council. Child protection figures released by the Scottish Executive show the county had 712 referrals in the year to 31 March last year - more than Glasgow and Edinburgh, both with 647. Aberdeen City had 252 referrals and Dundee 156. Aberdeenshire Council said potential risks to children are identified early on through close co-operation between the council, police and health agencies. Actual inquiries numbered 103 and 81 children were eventually placed on the child protection register, proportionally more in line with the area's population.
