The whole situation with the need for CRB Clearances has been blown out of all proportions over the years. As has already been made clear on this thread, the CRB only stops those who have already offended!
If the appropriete authorities (this includes the dear Government) looked at the facts, it shows very clearly that the MAJORITY of child abuse cases are within the family, NOT a mere volunteer who devotes a considerable amount of free time and effort to help and progress young people!
When people actually realise and except this we might do away with such crap as CRB checks ... but then one could argue its job protectionism - not only for the Civil Servants but the Lawyers etc.
VGS activities, there is a definite underlying insinuation in just about every thread that has popped up in the last 6 months or so about the conduct or professionalism of that organization.
When someone gets upset or they get a bee under their bonnet, its human nature that they blow anything out of proportions in a very sad immature way
. For an organisation that is continually standardised, these vicious rumours are clearly personal crudges of some sort in an attempt to satisfy perhaps the fact they are no longer part of a very good flying training system. Each thread that is raised, the same response is given back - if you think there is a problem go to the appropriete authorities - the fact they don't speaks for itself, they are
and have no substance!
