Now that's quite shocking... There is though an appeals process for it and the police are only supposed to disclose such matters which are directly relevant (i.e.. if applying to a school and you have information on the system that you were investigated for child abuse then they would add the investigation to the notes on the CRB)
I can see it's relevant to some applications but from what I've seen it's not foolproof  |
No it's not fool proof, the changes Roger alludes to were brought in because of Ian Huntly and the bizarre thing is even if the checks were avaliable then he'd have still killed those girls, they went to a different school to the one he was working at and went to his house to visit his girlfriend.
The whole thing needs more than looking at, treating it as a business means the CRB are happy to provide details to anyone that asks and until people like Nidge take prospective employers to court and hit them in the pocket for abusing the system it'll continue.
