Not sure I agree with what the CCPRN is saying in the sense that while they may have asked the police there are very few organizations including the police that truly understand our business and how it operates. The reason organizations like an agency, boy scouts or now even our church for teaching Sunday School ask for it is to protect themselves not the parents or children. It is a form of passing the buck so to speak in the sense of they can claim due diligence in the future.

I haven't had one done since the late nineties when I had to have it done in London to be a block parent. I see it simply as a money grab that tells the parents nothing of value. If a caregiver has their own children in the home then likely there are no issues since if there were then CAS would have removed the caregiver's children from the home too.
