And this means that the organisation will be £100 per helper out of pocket......which in turn mens that there will be £100 less to spend on activities for the children.

While I applaud trying to safeguard children, I think we are in the position of making children and parents believe that everyone has evil intent towards our children. I also think it prevents children from developing their own inner sense of who is a danger to them......and this will mean that they may still be vulnerable as adults because they haven't been able to develop strategies for themselves.

Parents are already paranoid about letting children play out, walk to school......indulge in the healthy(both bodily and mentally healthy) pusuits that we were allowed to pursue as children.
