My thanks to a loyal reader who pointed me to the goings on at The Isambard Community School in Swindon, which has absorbed Nanny's hysteria about all adults being a threat to children hook line and sinker.
According to the Telegraph the school has banned parents from watching their children take part in sports events, unless they pass a criminal records check.
In other words all adults are deemed guilty of being child predators unless they can prove otherwise!
Neil Park wanted to see his son George play rugby, but was banned from entering the school because he hadn't had a CRB check.
The message that this sort of nonsense sends kids is that adults cannot be trusted, and should be feared.
When I was a kid I was taught very simply not to talk to strangers or take sweets etc from them and, if in difficulty, I should ask for help from a policeman.
Sage advice which, aside from the lack of policemen these days, is still valid.
A child will not be abducted in public if it follows that simple guidance.
Regarding CRB checks, they simply "prove" that the person carrying a "clean" CRB is not registered on a database has having committed a crime; that of course doesn't mean that he/she hasn't committed or won't commit a crime.
Nanny is teaching children to fear all adults, that is not healthy and is in itself is a from of child abuse is it not?

Nanny wants everyone to see the state as the parent, provider, guardian, protector and the source of everything.......It is a dangerous road indeed that this and previous governments are taking us down.
ReplyDeleteI hate what my once great country has become and if I was young and fit enough, I would get out now and that is my advice to youngsters.
A simple solution would be to have all the parents who have been CRB checked to have to wear yellow Hi-Viz vests, and all of the parents that haven’t to wear orange Hi-Viz ones.
ReplyDeleteMy childs school prides itself & promotes the fact that all their teachers have current CRB checks - despite the fact that the local authority informed someone recently that a CRB does not guarantee that the person does not pose a danger to children. Work that one out!
