As far as employing somebody at a nursary you would have to CRB them and gain satisfactory references from their previous employer?!
As far as it being easy to catch those selling on DD details I think you are wrong.We have all seen the stuff on TV where this happens and it is happening today. Should we not be reducing the risk rather than act after the horse has bolted?

yep i know lots of companies get them done but they are not suposed to be used the way they are
its part of the reason it can take up to 6 months to check a person to work in a nursery or school where they will have direct access to children
why do councils etc get them done to make it look like they have done everything my point is though that none of this checks you are the person you say you are unless all references are checked preferably by talking to a real person who can describe you

there still is but the part that was most important imho which asked for personal references isn't used any more as it took to long to do the checks
