Gestapo Watch - Independent Safeguarding Authority

[TonyGosling]

Who TF are these fascist busibodies? Who runs this organisation? Ghouls?

What kind of country has this become when we are ALL treated as potential paedophiles?

You are a pervert and a danger to children - unless you can prove otherwise. If you disagree, pay a fine of £5,000. That is the message that could potentially be given out by a newly-formed government quango to a staggering 11.3 million people in this country.
The Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA), which comes into being next month, sets out to be the biggest vetting and clearing system in the world. In order to 'protect' your children, it will insist on vetting everyone who comes into possible contact with them.
If you help with the local football team, or the Guides; if you help out with lifts, driving other people's children to sporting events; if you help to host visits by foreign schoolchildren, you will become a criminal unless you consent to the ISA vetting you.
From time to time, I visit schools to help give English classes, or to talk about books or history. I do it because I like children, and I miss my years as a teacher. (Very sinister! I can hear the ISA inspector saying to herself.)...........
