Today we are going to take notes about two strategies • Vetting and barring; The new Vetting and Barring Scheme (VBS) for England, Wales and Northern Ireland was created as a response to the murders of two schoolgirls by school caretaker Ian Huntley in Soham, Cambridgeshire, in 2002. It is designed to close loopholes that allowed inappropriate people to work with children.

  8. Assess the two strategies What two strategies are we going to take notes about?

  9. Who are these people and what have they got in common?

  10. Paid staff and volunteers Between 1967 and 2000 there were 19 public inquiries into • abuse in children’s homes, to which can be added other well-publicised cases of abuse: • Beverley Allitt, a paediatric nurse convicted of the murder of four children and attempted murder of three others in her care on the ward (Clothier, 1994); • The case of Jason Dabbs, a student on placement convicted of indecent assaults on 12 nursery children in two schools(Hunt, 1994); • and Ian Huntley, a caretaker in a community college, who had been screened and selected as a suitable employee, but was subsequently convicted of the murder of two 11-year-old girls attending a primary school where his partner, Maxine Carr, was a teaching assistant (Kelly, 2004). • Jimmy Saville-the victims were laughed at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28045118.

  11. Rolf Harris • http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-05-27/rolf-harris-sings-giving-evidence-in-indecent-assault-trial/5482068 • What would stop people from whistle blowing? • What has this case got in common with the Jimmy Saville case?( culture and power)

  12. Dabbs • The most spectacular and shocking cases of children being abused in institutions have emerged in residential homes. Here the vulnerability and powerlessness of the children make them easy prey. • “But the case of Dabbs - 64 children claimed they had been assaulted by him - has highlighted the disturbing fact that children may be abused anywhere men work with them - in playgroups, nurseries, in independent and state day and boarding schools.”

  13. Review your bit strips • With a partner talk about the cases you have seen . Do these prove that whistle blowing works in every case? Why not? • Take down a few notes make sure you put the criteria on the page.

  14. Lets look at what should happen. • Legislation and reports that set out the vetting and baring system.

  15. What Is The Warner Report Social Services? • The Warner Report which was drafted in 1992 proposed new of recruiting and selecting people to work in residential child care. The aim was to minimize the risk of abuse to children looked after by local. In attempting to identify more accurately the "right" sort of person to work in residential care.

  16. Bichard Inquiry2004 • there was still sufficient concern for the Bichard Inquiry to find “…errors, omissions, failures • and shortcomings which are deeply shocking" (Bichard, 2004, p.1). • The cases demonstrate clearly that, without an appropriate organisational culture of safeguarding, the risk that the • ethic of care will be breached is present in any setting where adults come into contact with children.

  17. Vetting and barring • Government-led initiatives are undoubtedly essential in preventing unsuitable people from gaining positions of trust with vulnerable people, and can also act as a deterrent. • The Vetting and Barring Scheme, what do you think it does?

  18. Vetting and baring • Created under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006, the scheme is administered by the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA). The ISA will decide who is unsuitable to work or volunteer with vulnerable groups, based on information held by various agencies, government departments and the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB).
