children rights law

Human rights or wrongs?

The High Court has just ruled that part of the legislation intended to prevent people convicted or cautioned for certain crimes from working with children or vulnerable adults breaches human rights law. Will this decision protect perpetrators of offences over those vulnerable individuals whose protection The Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 seeks?

The Act was introduced after the Soham murders and was designed to protect children and vulnerable adults by preventing those posing a known risk from gaining access to them through their work. There was no real dispute that the previous system had to be reviewed.  Formerly there were two barring lists relating to children, List 99 and the Protection of Children Act (POCA) list.  Furthermore, the CRB check only enabled the employer to gain knowledge of a person at the time of the application.

The main aims of the vetting and barring scheme are as follows:

(i) unsuitable individuals should be barred from working with children (or vulnerable adults);

(ii) employers should be able to check that a person is not barred from working with children (or vulnerable adults);

(iii) suitability checks should be an ongoing assessment of suitability to identify those who transgress following an initial suitability check.

The Act defines two types of activity relating to children or vulnerable adults, ‘regulated activity’ and ‘controlled activity’.  Regulated activity covers the situations where a person has direct contact with the children or vulnerable adults, for example, teaching, social work, healthcare, counseling, guidance, and driving school buses. ‘Controlled activity’ is activity that, although it gives some opportunity for contact with children or vulnerable adults, does not fall within the definition of regulated activity.

An individual who wishes to work with children or vulnerable adults must apply for a check following the procedure required by the Act.  Once a person applies for a check, information is collated about him. While this is in progress, the investigator may receive information from a variety of sources. The decision as to barring status will be made and communicated to the individual, and where appropriate, to his employer. A decision to bar can only be reviewed after a certain period of time.

The Act creates several offences.  For example, offences are committed by an individual who seeks or engages in regulated activity with children or vulnerable adults when either he is barred, or not subject to monitoring (ie he has not applied for a check). The system of automatically banning those convicted for or who admit certain crimes from working with children and vulnerable adults without allowing them to make representations breached their rights to a fair trial.

Earlier this year, complaints about the complexity of the system and bureaucratic problems had caused the Government to put the registration scheme on hold while to considered further action.  Now the High Court has ruled that the vetting and barring scheme may breach human rights.

In its recent judgment in the case of The Royal College of Nursing & Ors R v Secretary of State for the Home Department & Anor, the High Court said that the automatic banning from working with children and vulnerable adults of people convicted for, or admitting, certain crimes without allowing them to make representations breached their rights to a fair trial.

In this case the claimants were nurses. Two of them were the subject of police cautions for leaving their children at home unsupervised which they had accepted;  one claimant had been convicted of giving a child an unauthorised kiss; the was the subject of a disciplinary investigation into all allegation of drunkenness at work.

The first three had all been placed automatically on the barred list after accepting their cautions or being convicted.  After challenges had been made, their status was changed and their names removed from the barred lists, but only after months of being unable to work.

The claimants brought a successful claim saying that the vetting and barring scheme is contrary to Articles 6 (right to a fair trial) and 8 (right to private and family life) of the European Convention on Human Rights.  The scheme places a duty on the Independent Safeguarding Authority to automatically place individuals who have been convicted or cautioned for a wide range of offences on the barred lists.  Such individuals do not have the right to make representations before their names are listed.

In its defence, the Secretary of State argued that the potential consequences of not barring perpetrators of certain offences could lead to serious abuse.

Rejecting the defence’s argument, the court said that  the lengthy delay between the offences being reported and the claimants’ names appearing on the barred lists, suggested the scheme was not as fast or effective as it envisaged. Most importantly, the particular claimants in this case, who had been convicted of relatively minor offences, were the type of people who would suffer most from the automatic barring measures.

It will be interesting to see how this issue of balancing the right of vulnerable persons to be protected, against the rights of this caught in the vetting and barring legislation is tackled and we will await developments with interest.

children rights law Questions


In Islamic law if a divorce takes place and there is a child, what are the access rights of the father?

If the child is under 7 years old and is living with the mother, can the father take the child away from the mother for a few hours each week without the mother’s presence and are they able to take the child overnight for weekends and holiday contact as is allowed in UK Law. What does Islamic law say about the access rights of the father? Does anyone know if anything about this is written in the Hadith and the reference please? Thankyou.

hadith is not islam quran is.

Should the law keep making men pay child support for a child they never wanted in the first place?

Hi everyone! I got an interesting question to ask you. Should the law keep making men pay child support for a child he never wanted in the first place? If a man and a woman have sex, they always run the chance of getting pregnant if neither one or both of them is sterilized. But why should the woman be the sole dictator when telling the man if he’s gonna pay for a child he may or may not want for 18 years or not? It’s her body so if she decides to keep it, shouldn’t she be the one to pay to raise it if the man has nothing to do with it but she still decides to have it against his will? It’s almost like somebody charging up your credit card and then trying to make you pay for it. I don’t have any kids myself but I just don’t think the child support laws in the country are right for men. Commonsense should tell us that if we can’t afford to buy or pay for whatever it is we want, then we shouldn’t buy it or have it in the first place. Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If men don’t want a child. They shouldn’t have sex, if you kept the child she would have to pay child support it is only fair.
