Similar situation here, in New Zealand. As I am with the Salvation Army, and a licenced Bus Driver, when the children were going to a Holiday Camp, during School Hols, before the kids got on bus, I had to sign a paper, stating that I could be investigated by authorities, to find out if I am a "Safe Person," amongst children. AND, each year, when I re-new my licence, the Police do a check. And although the police are supposed to check each and every one applying for a "P" endorsement, for Taxi or Bus/School Bus licence, a few bad ones have slipped through. One ex Taxi Driver, case before the courts,now, and he is an Iranian national, as a refugee.
