Sex offenders face taxi driving ban
"Rules surrounding sex offenders [sic] becoming taxi drivers are set to be tightened after a review.
Preston Council conducted a consultation looking at automatically banning any sex offenders [sic] from driving taxis in Preston. It was one of 44 questions asked as part of a public consultation over the city’s taxi trade. The authority has now said legal advice meant there couldn’t be an automatic ban on sex offenders becoming taxi drivers.
However anyone convicted of serious sexual assault will have to go before a tax sub-committee, where councillors will be “minded not to approve” them.
Serious offences have been defined as rape, sexual assault, indecent assault, and possession [just that?] of indecent images of children ['serious']."

Not Fit And Proper

Freed sex case teacher JB 'not fit to teach'
"JB was found unfit to teach by the General Teaching Council
A man who was cleared of rape and sexual assault charges after serving five years of a 12-year jail term has failed in a bid to return to teaching.
JB, 56, was convicted in 2005 of the alleged offences which were said to have dated back to the 1970s.
After a retrial in 2010, the jury found the charges relating to children aged seven, eight and 13, to be not proven.
The General Teaching Council refused his bid to rejoin the teaching register after finding him unfit to teach.
Mr B taught English and History at a Glasgow secondary school before his conviction in 2005.
His teacher registration lapsed after this and he had applied to have it renewed."
