Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 May 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Policing and Crime.


Policing and Crime

Will the Home Secretary respond specifically to the NSPCC's concern? It has raised the issue of a loophole whereby someone who has been barred from working with children can apply for a voluntary or part-time supervised job with a sports organisation or school, and that organisation will not even be told that they have been barred. Her junior Minister confirmed in the Protection of Freedoms Bill Committee that that was the case, and children's organisations, the Children's Commissioner and Labour Members are deeply concerned about that loophole. Can she confirm that it does indeed exist?
