[pp.int.general] Child Protection Database in GB

[Andrew Norton]

The reg has covered it a lot over the last few years. it's ludicrous.
unsubstantiated, and malicious allegations are on there, and will stay
on your record. you know, the ones where people make it up. Such
databases NEVER do anything, and most of the people are morons
involved with this. I've had personal knowledge of these kinds of
witch-hunts (even got two investigators fired, and a pediatrician
struck off over some cases involving friends - scabs claimed to be
ciggy burns, despite the lack of cauterization for instance) but the
allegations and that there has been an investigation will be on those
peoples records for ever, despite never having done anything.

It's crazy.
