As well as model engineering I am Group Scout Leader, 1st Hedgerley Scouts.
I know all about CRB checks. To me they are liberating if taken the right
way. We do not allow anyone near any of our events, including parents at
camps, unless they are checked. Cuts out some people who object in
principle but then leaves us totally relaxed and not concerned when a child
needs a degree of comfort from an adult. A pain maybe, but also a
liberator.
As for Santa events all adults allowed direct physical contact with children
should be CRB checked.
Sadly these days we need to be cautious but caution can be worthwhile. The
safety of our children is paramount.

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
