Our Lady's Grammar, Newry, parents contacted over offenders

"A school in Newry has sent letters to parents following claims two convicted sex offenders were living nearby.

Our Lady's Grammar School sent the notes home on Monday, informing parents that pupils had been reminded by staff about the need for vigilance when it comes to their personal safety.

It is understood that the offenders are no longer living at the address.

Sinn Féin councillor Charlie Casey has organised a public meeting after parents raised their concerns with him.

Speaking ahead of Thursday's meeting, Mr Casey said: "People are naturally worried for the safety of themselves and their children. The PSNI have confirmed that the two men have been removed from that particular house but they cannot confirm where they are now living.

"I would appeal for people to be calm in this situation. Thursday's private meeting will give the community the opportunity to raise concerns with the police and have their queries answered."

SDLP assembly member Dominic Bradley said he had talked to the police about the issue.

"The prospect of registered sex offenders living in close proximity to a school is deeply concerning and I have been contacted by parents and residents living in the area," he said.

"I have raised the concerns of the local community with the agencies involved, particularly the PSNI.""

Unlocking Criminal Record Checks

1st October 2013

New guide published by Unlock

"Unlocking Criminal Record Checks

"On a daily basis, our helpline gets calls from people who are applying for work and don’t know where they stand because of criminal record checks that (increasingly) employers are carrying out.

A couple of years ago, we approached the DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service - known as the CRB at that time) and raised this as a matter of concern. They agreed to support the production of a guide, specifically for people with a criminal record, designed to explain in detail the criminal record checking process, with particular focus on the specific issues that people with a criminal record might face.

The result is a detailed guide which was written by Unlock and which was circulated by the DBS (it was announced in DBS News September 2013)."

Outrage [persecution] after BBC helps paedophile [sic] find a luxury home in Escape [sic] To The Country so he can become an alpaca farmer

>Presenter Jonnie Irwin helped child abuser D R find a house
>He was charged with the crimes before filming, but didn't tell the BBC
>Former university administrator R has been jailed for 30 months

The BBC programme Escape To The Country helped a paedophile [sic] find a luxury home with enough land to keep alpacas, it has emerged.

D R, 41, featured on the BBC Two programme and was helped by presenter Jonnie Irwin to find a lavish home in South Wales so he and his wife Kasia could start afresh.

R, a former university administrator from south-east London, hid his sick crimes from programme producers. Complaints: Outraged viewers voiced their disgust after the programme featuring R (above) was aired on Wednesday at 3pm

Audacious: Father-of-one R demanded a four-bedroom house with period features with at least 15 acres of land overlooking the Welsh valleys."

Police Unthinkingly Substituting Their Own View - How Odd

June 13th, 2013

Enhanced criminal records certificates – teachers on trial

"Of course, a critically important issue for the teacher in question is whether the allegations will ultimately find their way into any enhanced criminal record certificate (ECRC). This is an issue which has been considered by the High Court in two recent cases.

In the first, R (L) v Chief Constable of Cumbria Constabulary [2013] EWHC 869 (Admin), L, a teacher, had been accused of having improperly propositioned and hugged an 18 year old pupil whilst at a pub. L had denied the allegations and no criminal prosecution had ultimately been mounted. The High Court held that inclusion in the ECRC of information relating to the allegations was unlawful as it constituted a disproportionate and hence unjustified interference with L’s Article 8 rights (see further Rachel Kamm’s more detailed post on this judgment here).

This week, the High Court has given judgment in the case of RK v (1) Chief Constable of South Yorkshire (2) Disclosure and Banning Service [2013] EWHC 1555 (Admin). RK had previously been acquitted of six counts of indecent assault and sexual activity with a child (in essence it was alleged that RK had repeatedly touched the bottoms of teenage girls in his care). Nine years later RK sought disclosure of a draft ECRC from the Constabulary. The draft included information about the allegations and referred to them as ‘offenses’. RK sought a judicial review of the draft certificate.

"Critically the judgments in both L and RK highlight the dangers attendant on the police unthinkingly substituting their own view of an individual’s guilt or innocence in the face of an acquittal by the criminal courts or other important evidence raising questions about the reliability of the information in issue."

">New human rights farce [sic] as police are afraid to release crooks' mugshots despite national guidelines.
>More than half forces in England and Wales refuse to publish mugshots unless the person has been jailed.
>Forces are urged to release pictures and details of more detained suspects.
>Widely acknowledged that publicity can link offenders to other crimes.

Some forces insist on sentences of more than three years before they release a custody photo to the press.

A new secret justice row broke out last night after The Mail on Sunday discovered that hundreds of thousands of convicted criminals are having their identities protected by police.

More than half of forces in England and Wales refuse to publish mugshots of offenders unless they have been jailed – in defiance of national guidelines.

Some insist on sentences of more than three years before they release a custody photo to the press, citing concerns about data protection and the criminals’ human rights.

This means just a tiny handful of the 1.2 million people sentenced in criminal courts each year have their pictures published or put online, even though it is widely acknowledged that publicity can link offenders to other crimes and prevent more from being committed.

It comes after The Mail on Sunday revealed ‘secret arrest’ plans by police chiefs, backed by Lord Justice Leveson and now put in place across the country, to prevent forces revealing the names of suspects they have detained."

Following this newspaper’s investigation, the Association of Chief Police Officers’ senior officer in charge of media policy wrote to all 43 chief constables in England and Wales urging them to release more photos of sentenced offenders."

Learn The Law, Ms Linza Corp

Friday 24 May 2013

HUNSTANTON: Sex offender was working for children’s charity

"The founder of a children’s cancer charity has lodged complaints against police officers over their handling of the work arrangements of a registered sex offender.

Linza Corp, who runs Hunstanton-based Families Against Neuroblastoma, feels let down by Norfolk Police for breaking her confidence.

She has lodged complaints against two officers and Norfolk police say these are under investigation.

Mrs Corp had briefly entered into a contract with a man to set up an external call centre in Norwich to support the charity’s work.

She later leaned that the man was listed on the Sex Offenders’ Register after being convicted of attempting to meet a child following sexual grooming and attempting to incite a child into sexual activity in 2008.

Mrs Corp has stressed that the man had no contact with children or the charity’s computers. She said: “I feel repeatedly let down by the police.”

Mrs Corp had learned of the contractor’s past two weeks ago and contacted the police for advice.

She said she asked the officer to keep her identity a secret [why Linza, no courage of conviction?] and was advised not to tell anyone.

Mrs Corp said she had later received a voicemail from the man to say that the officer had told him that she knew about his past.

She said: “That should have been confidential.”"

CRB [sic] checks will keep our children safe [sic]

"CONCERNS for children’s safety have been raised after several school bus drivers were found not to have the relevant CRB [sic] checks.

The services of two coach operators for Stockton Council have been withdrawn after spot checks on school runs found five drivers did not have the appropriate criminal record check.

A spokesperson for Stockton Council said: “The safeguarding of all our children and young people is of paramount importance to us and that’s why as a matter of routine we frequently carry out spot checks on all coach and taxi drivers which operate on our school routes.

“All school coach drivers must have relevant CRB [sic] checks in place and this is a condition of the contract they have with the council."

Paedophile [sic] was babysitting neighbour's child in Gloucestershire

"A PAEDOPHILE [sic] has been babysitting for their neighbour in Gloucestershire, it has emerged.

It's one of seven chilling cases in the county where police have had to warn parents that someone who had committed a sexual offence was in contact with their child.

In one of the incidents which have taken place over the past two years, the parents were told that the neighbour looking after their offspring had previously abused [?] children.

The information was revealed to the Echo through the Freedom of Information Act.

The request also revealed that there were times when people had asked for information on someone they suspected of being a sex offender, but that police refused to disclose it – to protect the abuser [sic]."
