They don;t have to be CRBd for a one off meeting,

Whoa be careful as this is not literally always true! The need for a
CRB check is based on an assessment of risk.

Take your one-off meeting (or activity). Two scenarios:

1. You turn up to an evening meeting expecting a fellow leader/
assistant to be there to assist you. They're not. Car broken down or
sudden illness in family, etc, means that at the last minute they
can't attend. You (the leader) ask a parent to stand in for them. The
parent does not have a disclosure. You modify your evening programme
to take account of this and ensure that the parent is not left alone/
unsupervised.

This is okay.

2. You plan an activity for your yp one evening in 4 weeks time. Your
assitant tells you that due to a prior engagement they can't attend.
You ask a parent to stand in for them. The parent does not have a
disclosure. You modify your evening programme to take account of this
and ensure, as far as possible, that the parent is not left alone/
unsupervised.

This looks the same as above, however, this situation is a little
different and potentially may not be okay.

Why not? Let's say in both cases the parent is, unknown to you, a bit
'dodgy. In case 1 s/he will not have any opportunity to plan an
'attack' and may have to rely on an unforeseen opportunity presenting
itself. Such an opportunity may be rare/low risk if they're being
supervised. In case 2 they'll have time to plan/prepare a way round
your close supervision; in this case they may be a #ble to plan/
foresee an opportunity.

Whether it's a one-off meeting or not you must assess the risk. Only
if the risk is 'not significant' can you then ask the parent to step
in without a CRB check. A situation where an adult can plan in advance
always carries a higher risk. Whether the risk is significant is
another question to answer.

but you might like
to suggest to them that it might be a good idea. They will agree with
you and you'll soon build up a 'stock' of parents with CRB's.

Once you start putting people on a rota - a plan - then your
assessment will always say that anyone on that rota must be (CRB)
checked.

The 'one-off' instance you refer to really must be a real unplanned/ad
hoc one-off.
