    CRB vetting to watch your kids play sport?

    Parents without criminal record checks banned from watching their kids play school sport | Mail Online

    This must be a wind up surely?

    That one school does it, probably not.

    Worse is that parents who don't get a CRB check might be viewed with suspicion.

        You mean like the same CRB checks that are run on maths teachers?

          Your post seems to be entirely sarcasm with zero content. What point exactly are you making, that CRB should check future events?

            I helped out on sporting occasions and coaching, occasionally (if home) at the kids school last year and most parents did, and continue to. We all had to have CRB checks. I thinkit makes sense, if on school grounds, etc and don't find it alarming. However, if it's watching your kids play sport competitively against other schools, I think it's a bit odd.

              I think that is a sensible approach, if you have regular contact in a formal structure where there is a position of trust, coach, scout leader etc, but ad hoc like attending a sports event, or taking someone else's kid to school (think that was a hair-brained idea I read about last year) its ridiculous.

                If you're interacting with others' kids, there's some sense in it. Standing at a public site watching the kids doing sport under the supervision of teachers etc, what do they think you're going to do?

                  There's always a bloke in a raincoat watching us as we play football in the park. They're ok, they'd give you a lolly if you tugged one of them off - trouble is I'm 51 now and surely it's my turn for the raincoat.....

                    I think this comment says it all and should be enough to shame the school...

                    Other schools in Swindon have no plans to follow Isambard Community School's policy
