What a fiasco. Apparently Ruth Kelly is going to review the process of placing someone who is on the Sex Offenders Register on the Education Department's List 99.
We don't need a List 99. As a parent, I believe that if someone has been convicted or cautioned about a child sex offence, then that person should NEVER be allowed to be a teacher or work in any school. It's as simple as that and no Minister must have the power to overrule that.
Today I read that Miss Kelly gave approval for a man who had been convicted of indecent assault, fraud, deception and forgery to be a teacher because his actions had been merely 'unwise'. What is she on? And Tony Blair talks about youths having respect for teachers!!!!
NOBODY with a criminal record should be in our children's classrooms. Period.
