Also parents nowadays expect all adults, who work with children in
after school activities or clubs, to be CBR checked as well.
In Australia anyone who works with children needs to get a police check
done. It is standard for teachers, ancillary staff, volunteers and
sports coaches even parent coaches. I laughed when my then 20 year old
son needed police clearance to coach his sister's basketball team (the
girls were all 17 or 18).
It is no big deal since the schools/ departments of education have to do
it. It has had an impact on our local lacemakers who teach children
lacemaking during holidays and after school since we have to supply a
list of all volunteers if we are visiting a local school, however some
of our country groups have discussed the issue with the local police who
have given them general guild lines to work with.
