Checkmate: Has vetting gone too far?

This evening event at The Spitz is a forum for honest discussion about the role and impact of vetting - and for us to consider alternative ways forward.


From Autumn 2008, it will be a crime for a father to help out at his son’s football team, if he is not CRB checked. Already, vetting is putting adults off volunteering; some long-time cricket coaches and choir leaders have resigned in protest. Is there a danger of paedophile panics going too far? What effect does mass vetting have on the relationship between adults and children? Should we just accept CRB checks as part of life, or are there other ways for adults to work together to ensure children’s welfare?

This evening event at The Spitz is a forum for honest discussion about the role and impact of vetting - and for us to consider alternative ways forward. We can continue the conversation afterwards, over a glass of wine in The Spitz bar.
