Innocent have nothing to fear from CRB revisits

Depending how often the CRB checks are repeated, this must be a very good idea and will only minimise the risk to our children (‘Union claims CRB checks on existing school staff are waste of money’, PersonnelToday.com, 3 February).

Re-checking ensures that any convictions which occur after the initial check are highlighted, thereby allowing for appropriate action to then be taken.

I do not see why it causes stress to members if they have nothing to hide, unless of course you mean the financial worry.
