There was a discussion about this on our local radio station recently, and
it was pointed out that a CRB check is just like an MOT for a car - just
because the car passed the test one day, doesn't mean there won't be
something happen to make it fail the next day. Fortunately these checks
didn't come into force until after I'd retired from teaching - not that I
had any reason to fail the check, but it does get a bit silly when a local
head teacher was told that parents coming into the school to make and put up
Christmas decorations in the school during school hours would need to be
checked even though they wouldn't be working with the children.
