So your saying that it's the volunteers fault for picking the "wrong" organisation to work/volunteer for in good faith?
They should certainly accept that volunteering at a place notorious for enabling child abuse will require a DBS certificate, of course.
Some police forces have been less than thorough when investigating child sex abuse. Are you saying therefore that no-one should join or work for the police? Sexual abuse can occur in care homes. The Care Quality Commission published a report on this in 2020. Are you saying that no-one should work in a care setting?
Of course I didn't say no one should volunteer at a church, I said they should pay for a DBS check. And of course you would need a DBS check (or the equivalent) to work for the police or in a care home. I'd be extremely concerned if you didn't.
In 2018 an ITV documentary revealed the true extent of sexual abuse at the UK’s boarding schools, with hundreds of people accused of carrying out sexual attacks in recent years and dozens of ongoing police investigations. Are you saying that no-one should volunteer or work for a boarding school?
Again, where are you getting the idea I said no one should work or volunteer at a church? I said you would need a DBS certificate, as you would at a boarding school. Common sense, surely?
And that it's OK for those church volunteers mentioned before to be penalised financially for the nefarious activities of a disturbed few?
If someone is complaining that they're being financially penalised because they're being required to pay £50 for a DBS certificate to work for an organisation that has a long-running history of covering up child abuse, they need to take a long hard look at themselves. Only an incredibly self-obsessed person would think like that.
TBH I think it's you who has skewed priorities.
Why?
