Like a school caretaker?
I'm happy that the schools my lads go to have this policy. Jobsworth's or not  :roll:

Prior to the Soham murders schools only used a basic CRB check carried out on peoples backgrounds, now it's an enhanced check and can take up to six weeks with all the background checks carried out.

All schools have a confidentiality responsibility under the Childrens Act to protect the children, most inner city schools have a virtually waterproof system in place to prevent unauthorised persons from obtaining information.
Smaller village type schools may not be so strict on the protection of information but will still require parents permissions to issue information.

If a parent here was able to get a list of childrens names, addresses, ages and birthdays there would be hell to pay!

Hang on - I'm confused now - thought you were from Yorkshire!

Seriously tho - it's true that you get what you pay for, & if I'd had the Brass, ours would have gone to private school

Thanks Chris...

Was starting to get worried that I was the only one here with no common sense ;-)

Susie's just had her CRB check back and is doing all this stuff in her college course now  :roll:

I think we're straying from the original post here -

a) Pauls wife was already in the school & talking to the teacher of her own child

b) She did NOT ask for the above information, just spellings of first names.

And until recently MY wife was working as an LSA (Learning Support Assistant) so I'm well aware of the background checks etc
