Now of course, that is the crux of the whole matter. The CRB checks will only pick up someone who has already been found guilty of offences against children. Most of the recent headline cases involve people who had their CRB clearance, because they had not previously been caught. It may be because you are teaching *groups*, which I read to mean that not all the children are in their own home with their own parents, but most other people that have anything at all to do with children seem to need them - except parents, siblings and relatives. And when children are abused, who are they most at risk from? Say no more.
