About This Video
There are growing fears that vetting is putting off volunteers, and casting suspicion on people whose motive is to help. Watch this frank discussion between Baroness Julia Neuberger, Chair of the Commission on the Future of Volunteering; Josie Appleton, from the Manifesto Clubs Campaign against Vetting; and Mervyn Barrett, from the crime reduction charity NACRO.
This discussion features on WORLDbytes, the online magazine news channel created by volunteers at WORLDwrite. It aims to get behind the headlines and promote a people-first perspective on a wide-range of issues; the programmes credo is dont shout at the telly, change the message on it.

Living in a world where the motives and sincereity of people are constantly under question, this news channel helps provide an alternative perspective which explores the downfalls of Britains constant vetting system. It definately got me thinking!!

The CRB check for volunteers will simply close another door of opportunity to people who have been in prison who are trying to rebuild their lives.
