Common Purpose - Your Turn - criminal records checks

John Walker made this Freedom of Information request to Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People

Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People did not have the information requested.

From: John Walker

17 November 2008

Dear Sir or Madam,

Common Purpose - Your Turn - criminal records checks

An "educational charity" called Common Purpose encourages its
members to identify 12-15 year olds for training before placement
on so-called "Your Turn" training courses:

http://www.commonpurpose.org.uk/home/pro...

I am concerned that some of this training may be carried out by
people who have not had the statutory criminal records checks.

1. What is your policy and what systems do you have in place for
ensuring that people who train children on Common Purpose courses
have passed the necessary criminal records checks?

2. Please supply evidence/records that you have that Common Purpose
trainers who deal with children have passed the necessary criminal
records checks.

Yours faithfully,

John Walker

Dear Mr Walker,

 

Thank you for your e-mail dated 27 October 2011 where you have requested
information under the Freedom of Information Act. I would like to say that
this is the first request that I have received from you. However, after
looking into the “What do they know” website, I have noticed that you made
another request in 2008 but I have no record of this.

 

You original request states;

“An "educational charity" called Common Purpose encourages its members to
identify 12-15 year olds for training before placement on so-called "Your
Turn" training courses:
I am concerned that some of this training may be carried out by people who
have not had the statutory criminal records checks.
1. What is your policy and what systems do you have in place for ensuring
that people who train children on Common Purpose courses have passed the
necessary criminal records checks?
2. Please supply evidence/records that you have that Common Purpose
trainers who deal with children have passed the necessary criminal records
checks.”

In relation to this request, could I please ask for some clarification in
relation to the information you are looking for as we have no relationship
with this organisation so cannot comment on any of their internal
policies.

Yours sincerely,

Robert
