Like many ceilidh bands, we sometimes play for PTAs and youth groups. These are invariably supervised by teachers or group leaders and we have never been...
Sorry to bring this topic up again. We're (finally) getting our kit tested. Do we need to provide all of the kit, or just the stuff powered by the mains? For...
... Basically everything that carries mains power at 240V AC. This includes anything that plugs in using a kettle lead or a permanently connected mains cable...
Ian,100% - anything wiv 240 v feed...........my radio mike is battery operated............but still needs 240v feed or it won't work.....so it req's PAT...
... Mains only. ... No, they don't carry mains electricity so there's nothing relevant to test. You should make your own periodic checks on the state of the ...
Hi all I have an enquiry for a band for a New Year's Eve Barn Dance in a restaurant in South Kensington, London - I don't suppose there's anyone out there who ...
Does sound like the world gone made! Surely the issue of other adults being present as "responsible adults" having charge of various children and young people...
Yes, if there no children or vulnerable adults then the rules won't apply. However most of the PTA dances I play for seem to be family events including...
Ros, that is how it seems to work at present. We've never been asked to be CRB checked to play for dances for children, because other responsible adults are...
... ... Actually, like many of these licenses, it is a revenue-raising mechanism. ... No one organisation has yet offered this to folkie-type persons; it'd...
There are many changes to keep an eye on here the new vetting and barring scheme requires all those involved in contact with children and vulnerable adults to...
May be worth asking around - for instance I'm on the board of Furness Tradition and that has set up as a limited company and obtained Charitable Status and as...
Sledgehammers and nuts ... unbelievable! So (bear with me, just thinking aloud here) PTAs could organise a rota so each could hold their events in a ...

To clarify my earlier post, whilst the current system may need you to apply for CRB checking through an employer or umbrella organisation, from July 2010...
So will ISA registration supersede CRB, or will it run in parallel? Brian Heywood [MoonDance] -- www.moondance.org.uk / www.myspace.com/moondans ... From:...
If I understand correctly, it will include a CRB check but will also include information from other sources. "From October 12th 2009, a new duty to share...
... My understanding is that this came about as a response to Ian Huntley being known to Lincs but moved to Cambs, and because of the Data Protection Acts,...
I believe the Huntley case was part of the reasons behind it. That's what I meant about "best of intentions". However the new regulations will go much further...
The whole thing is absurd and hopefully as things begin to stop altogether somebody will see sense. Already schools are canceling exchange trips because host...
