Vetting is widespread, as the Chair knows, for the protection of children. I presume in all cases somebody makes an assessment as to whether a person is appropriate to work with children in whatever capacity. I am sure there would be many precedents for how those decisions are made. The primary concern is to protect children. Everybody here would agree with that. I can see if I can get the Deputy specifics on that. It would certainly be worth his while looking at the guidelines as they are currently operated in the non-statutory process.
