When I was a single mother I had to go back to work. This involved me employing aupairs. I was lucky all six of them were brilliant. However I did hear some horrendous stories about others who weren’t including fully qualified nannies.
How are they going to implement the CRB of these foreign students I wonder?! Personally I think it will be a big loop-hole! :?
I was a childrens nanny for 12yrs during the mid 80’s – 90’s long before CRB checks were around & most of my jobs came through Agencies or word of mouth.
Because of my current job I have been CRB checked at “an advanced” level & passed but I still can’t help out at my kids school because I need a separate check for that ?? :?
The CRB is a bloody farce anyway, hasn’t there been cases recently where people working with children have been checked & passed but, had previous history that wasn’t declared.
Like everything it’s subject to abuse. I personally think that too much trust is put in a CRB check.
I agree with you it is absurd!
