Quote: Parents who regularly drive children for sports or social clubs will have to undergo criminal record checks or face fines of up to £5,000 under new rules.
Along with parents who host foreign exchange students, they will fall under the scope of the Vetting and Barring Scheme, the Home Office has confirmed. All 300,000 school governors, as well as every doctor, nurse, teacher, dentist and prison officer will also have to sign up. It is thought that 11.3 million people in England, Wales and Northern Ireland - close to one in four of all adults - may register with the Home Office's Independent Safeguarding Authority [ISA]. Registration will cost £64 in England and Wales, but unpaid volunteers will be exempt from the charge. £723,000,000.............. no mention of it including a CRB check though! "but unpaid volunteers will be exempt from the charge. " can you have PAID volunteers? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8249020.stm |

This will affect us, I believe. As I understand, a new Independent Safeguarding Authority will be established and we will all have to be registered at about £70-80 a time. I'm not sure if the CRB check will still be required. |

We've had a note from our council: '...please check with your contractors to establish whether you need to be registered under this scheme to continue to carry out contract work....' That tells me the council still need the CRB but they don't get involved with the VBS! As paid, rather than volunteer, drivers, that will cost. But is it one cost per person, or per contract? |
