We've all heard the news regarding child care centres and the Working With Children check. My complaint is that the coverage is spread so wide, it has become unmanagable.

 

I am a volunteer at our Men's Shed. I don't do much because most of the guys don't need help with what I was accepted for - assistance with computers, internet, email accounts and digital photography.

 

What do those two thoughts have to do with each other? As a volunteer, I am considered an employee of the company which runs the shed. In other operations of the company, three suburbs away, they have activities involving children. As an employee of the company, I am required to hold a Working With Children certificate and undergo police checks, even though the youngest person through our doors would be over 50. What a waste of admin and police effort.

That's what happens when you go too Big and get $$$$'s INVOLVED. Nev

And the system is a complete failure, as evidenced by the childcare victims and the number of schoolteachers, police, and people of "high standing", who are now being caught on a regular and seemingly increasing basis, for deviant activities.

Gripes....

 

My relevant gripe is that the "Working With Vulnerables" blue card has become as cumbersome and ineffective as a ASIC card.

 

I am required to hold a Blue Card to be a volunteer fire fighter. 

 

Next thing, they will want every human to have one, just in case they encounter a person who is under the age of consent..

but !.

Under the age of ' consent ' didn't stop a " politician " from paying 

To get those " under-age  " girls pregnant  .

Then the parents had to pay more for their daughters ' abortion ' .

My " Lot " is just people gathering for a talk and coffee. Very flexible, No empire building. Nothing in Writing No money Involved. The chairman is the
