Hello,

The ISA will become the world's largest vetting and checking system when 
it starts work next month, checking the backgrounds of an estimated 
11.3million adults in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Anyone whose work brings them into contact with children will have to 
undergo checks costing £64, including all teachers, doctors, nurses 
dentists, pharmacists, prison officers, and school governors and dinner 
ladies.
.
Parents will also need official clearance before giving up their free 
time to visit their child's school occasionally to help youngsters learn 
to read. Adults breaching the rules could face a £5,000 fine, as can 
clubs which make use of unvetted volunteers - enough to put many small 
groups out of business.

This sounds somehow strange. Does anyone have more informations for me?
