Why see it as an issue of trust? Because I do! I see that the local management trust the CRB more than they trust local leaders or themselves. And because they do trust the CRB more how long is it before they start letting their guard slip, howe long before the mindset arrives of "The CRB checked him , he must be alright!"? How long before the yellow card stops mentioning "suspicions" because everyone has been CRB checked?

The CRB check is an aid to recruitment, nothing more , to use it as anythign else is wastefull and creates distortions. If there are problems elsewhere in identifying people who should be workign with YP the CRb shouldn't be used as a sticking plaster soloution.
