What is worrying is that the RSA cannot say whether people who have had serious complaints made against them are still on the register. That is a little concerning. It is mostly kids and young people who feel they are in a vulnerable position. Many kids, because they go through insurance companies to get their 12 lessons as part of being put on their mother's or father's insurance, do not get to pick their instructor. Therefore, we need to be confident that there is an authority – it is the RSA – that ensures the expected standard is upheld and that where it is not, there are repercussions.
