And before you get too comfortable thinking it wouldn't happen here, we have CRB checks and Disclosure Scotland checks - passing one of those only means you haven't been caught for it. That's not to say I don't see the importance and value of these checks, just don't get complacent.

Remember that nursery worker who was part of a paedophile ring? She was working in a day nursery using her position to abuse babies and toddlers. She passed a check to work there.
