| Because the checks are valid only for the day they are made, it doesn't take any account of the fact you may have done something untoward but never got caught, or even used a false I.D. Neither does it guarantee you won't commit an offence after you get the certificate. It's a knee jerk system and given how the local safeguarding boards in places where they have had the grooming scandals just sat back and did sod-all, I frankly wouldn't say this is a system you can put much faith in. It is a mealy mouthed box ticking exercise to kid people that something is being done. |
