| My youngest son has happily been working for an agency at a school for a couple of months, he was initially told that a DBS check would take a matter of weeks which he found really funny, knowing his older brother had previously been told by the vetting service they had a backlog of 37,000! Today because he is - as he thought - still waiting for the check to be done - he has been told he can no longer work at the school although they want to keep him. He has contacted the DBS vetting people only to be told it could take another EIGHT WEEKS before they get their act together. What a bloody shambles - no-one disputes that the safety of children is paramount, but for God's sake if we are going to insist on this potty system the least the government could do is make sure it works efficiently. |
