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. "
