We will not be able to prevent offenders from abusing our kids unless we know what to look for. We have tobe vigilant about their patterns - breaking the rulesof usual adult child interactions and overstepping boundaries. Understanding how offenders groom the community to gain access to our children is just as important as it is for us to educate our children. Eliminating or reducing one on one situations will significantly lower the risk of the risk of children being abused.

International Child Protection Certificate A criminal records check for UK nationals and others working abroad Many international schools and child-focussed charities operating around the world employ UK nationals as teachers, workers and volunteers.  For the first time, a police criminal records check is now available for UK nationals who are working or seeking employment overseas to work with children. In a joint initiative, CEOP and ACRO have developed the International Child Protection Certificate (ICPC) as a means to better protect children from convicted UK child sex offenders who are seeking employment that will bring them into close contact with children. The ICPC is a criminal records check against police and intelligence databases in the UK that would reveal any convictions or reasons as to why someone should not work with children.  It is similar to the CRB check that is required for anyone working professionally with children in England an...
