Sadly once a person is "in care" the nanny state takes over and wants to "protect". So CRO checks, insurance checks and so-forth immediately come into play. Don't even think about helping under 16s.....Post Savill the state is paranoid.
I think you mean CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) checks! Are they really that concerned when it comes to the elderly? Children yes.
But, I'd not be surprised if a significant percentage already have a valid CRB. I do, I help with the local Scouts.
