New 'worldwide safeguard' launched
"One in five convicted or suspected child sex offenders who travel abroad take jobs which give them access to youngsters, figures have shown.
They could have been banned from working with children in the UK but work freely abroad, as many schools and organisations overseas have no access to criminal record checks.
A new police system for UK nationals who are working or volunteering abroad will help identify those who have previous convictions which mean they should be banned from working with children, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (Ceop) agency said.
The international child protection certificate (ICPC) will be "a worldwide safeguard" for employers and voluntary organisations, the agency's chief executive Peter Davies said.
Fourteen of the 75 travelling UK sex offenders investigated by Ceop in 2011 were associated with roles that involved access to children, figures released by the agency showed. [and, what is your evidenced point?]
Some 1,235 such investigations have been carried out since 2006 with between 7% and 19% of these each year involving offenders who had access to children abroad. "There is clear evidence [of what?] to suggest that serious sex offenders who are known to authorities in the UK will often seek out opportunities to work or volunteer abroad," Mr Davies said."

Comment:
Do not think this will only affect 'Serious [sic] Sex Offenders [sic]'.
It will affect anyone seeking employment, abroad.
It will be abused, just as CRB checks, are abused.
With no democratic oversight.
