Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

In a school or a sports club, such an individual would commit an offence by applying for the role. In private tutoring, no offence occurs until a new harm is caused. It is nonsensical that someone deemed too dangerous to work in a school, with its safeguarding duties and oversight, can legitimately advertise, locally or online, to teach a child one-to-one in their bedroom or living room.
