Rules to vet parents who regularly drive children for sports or social clubs have provoked fierce criticism.
Along with parents who host foreign exchange students, they will fall under the Vetting and Barring Scheme.
Opposition parties have attacked the plans and campaigner Esther Rantzen said they showed a "loss of perspective".
But the government said its goal was child safety and the Children's Society said sharing information was vital.
The measures are being introduced from next month in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
A separate but aligned scheme is being set up in Scotland, to be introduced next year.
Also, anyone barred in any part of the UK will be barred from working with children and vulnerable adults anywhere else.
'Frequent, intensive'
Under the scheme, parents who are not vetted will be subject to a fine of up to £5,000.
Informal arrangements between parents will not be covered, but anyone taking part in activities involving "frequent" or "intensive" contact with children or vulnerable adults three times in a month, every month, or once overnight, must register, it has emerged.

All 300,000 school governors, as well as every doctor, nurse, teacher, dentist and prison officer will also have to sign up.

I simply have no words. None at all. This is beyond extreme, and is basically one big judgement on anyone to be a potential risk - the absolute wrong message we can send to the nation's children. It would appear that the vetting of book authors such as Terry Pratchett and JK Rowling who appear at live reading shows a few months ago was just the beginning of this madness.
 
Its a law passed by Labour, of course it is stupid, retarded and extreme, as well as driven by emotion and of very little practical benefit.
 
Well, some messed up people decide to do a heinous crime against children, mothers band together and demand the government to do something to protect their kids, rightly so of course. The government make small changes but its never good enough. So they make a big one and people still complain.

General public: Never know what they/we want :)
 
Even I never expected the progression towards a totalitarian police state to accelerate so quickly.

Emigration can't come soon enough.

Typical of anything labor does... kneejerk without any real thinking through, completely out of touch with reality...

Which is one of the main points of inflecting a government.
to ensure stupid public opinion does not make laws and to protect the minorities.

Something labour does not do. Laws should not be passed on emotion.
 
If the government speed the CRB process up I think that this is a good idea - if it prevents 1 Ian Huntley getting through the system it will be worth it.....and of course, if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about

Surely these people are already vetted anyway and just being used to help the media sensationalism
 
Hold on a second, if I have a daughter who plays for a girls football team and gets a lift home from one of the other parents - isn't it a good thing that the person she gets a lift home from has been checked out a bit?

:rolleyes: god, I hate this attitude and is exactly why the government does all these stupid laws.

Who's goign to stump the costs?
Averting one crime is not justification for applying laws.
 
Btw Jonny, they're outlawing Xbox 360's and sending all owners, past and present to gulags for hard labour until you die.

One law changes and you're a target. Don't kid yourself and think these people give a damn about you or your liberties.

This is a bad law which will do more harm to society than it will to protect children.

Yet again the same argument I see time and time again. I fail to see how it is any justification.

As always by your logic, how about you go and live in a glass house surrounded by CCTV cameras? After all, you have nothing to hide.

Really? No. You wouldn't want to do that would you. Look outside the box. It's just another excuse to charge us some money for something we don't need, have all of our information in one place and lose it on the train. One person out of 11.3 million is not exactly a trend is it?

Awesome.

Hardly a labour monopoly - remember the Dangerous Dogs Act? Section 28 of the Local Government Act? Etc. It's the nature of all governments to do what they think will make them popular: and "protecting the children" ought to work. Whether it will backfire as much as some here and elsewhere suggest is open to question. Because if it falls, then the next time an unvetted person gets caught molesting a child the government looks good again.
