I've had one done. You might wonder whether you really want to hand over bank account information "to allow the checks to be conducted quicker" but it is a fairly painless if slightly expensive procedure. My personal but sad rule is not to touch any children apart from my own and of my very immediate family. Not least following a school trip to the local church where I am not wholly unknown where the vicar expressed surprise that a little girl (not my own) who I know very well snuggled up to me because the talk was a little long and boring. The FC at my daughters' primary school has an elf for his own protection watching at all times and the children do not sit on his lap. I recommend that you follow that course. Sad there are such rules. Sad that there are people who make them necessary which expression I do not wholly limit to dirty old men >From: "Richard Harvey" <rharvey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Does anyone on the list have experiences with CRB checks, with specific >references to Santa Specials and ?Father Christmas?? > >Kind regards, >Richard > >Richard Harvey >EPOS Systems Manager >Exchequer Software Ltd MODEL ENGINEERING DISCUSSION LIST.
