Yes, it's a real hassle and it probably feels insulting to some people but it's just part of the overall picture of doing everything necessary for children's safety. It's everyone's duty to be a part of this process - schools have to take the major share in child safeguarding, along with EVERYTHING ELSE they have to do so please let's support them.

Kids stop at...Perhaps this should be taken further:<br />Kids stop at shops on the way to and from school, so shop workers should be vetted too.<br />Anyone living on a route to a school would be able to lean out of the front door and grab children, like pick and mix.<br />Not forgetting parents, they have access to children at very strange times.<br /><br />If a politician visits a school will they have to be vetted?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
