Doing a bit of forum surfing, I came across this post. It is titled “Disturbing news”:<\/p>\n
\nIve recently heard about an adi who qualified a few months ago, and has only now received their CRB form. <\/p>\n
I was under the impression that the CRB check was done before training starts. <\/p>\n
The disturbing news, is that the adi could be a convicted rapist and was allowed to teach. <\/strong><\/p>\n
Is this another example of DSA incompetence? <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
I’ve emboldened the important bit. The post seems to be saying that a suspected convicted rapist became an ADI. Everyone else who read the post on the forum in question thought so, too.<\/p>\n
The original poster then responded:<\/p>\n
\nThe adi is in fact a female. <\/p>\n
The point I was trying to make was that the adi could have been a rapist or other undesireable had been allowed to teach, before the DSA knew about it.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
So, the claim in the original was a badly worded ‘what if?’ scenario. But I think the point is well made – though not quite how it was originally intended. How the hell do some of these people become and remain ADIs? They can’t write or express themselves clearly, and they are prepared to use something as extreme as\u00a0rape as a lever to have a go at the DSA? It isn’t as if they have proof that the underlying story – minus the poorly presented libel – is true.<\/p>\n
I’ve recently sent my ADI renewal in because my current one expires at the end of this month. I did it online – you have to give your CRB check number (and pay by credit\/debit card), then send a copy of the completed application with a passport photo to the DSA by post. The CRB check has to be completed some months previously if you want to be sure of having it before your registration is due.<\/p>\n
So, I can’t see how the story can be true – and certainly not in the way it has been reported here.<\/p>\n
But I have to wonder what exactly would the problem be if it were true? Obviously, it isn’t a good thing –\u00a0but\u00a0nor is it\u00a0the end of the world. It isn’t like anyone<\/em> can get away with it. It would certainly make you wonder at the motives and suitability of the ADI in question, who\u00a0knew (or should have known) full well that you need a fresh CRB check before you can apply for a\u00a0licence or a renewal of it.\u00a0But this isn’t quite what the person who made that post was getting at.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
