I will ignore your adhom (again) and ask you, do you know what the
responsibilities and activitites of a form tutor are?

Yes, of course. Personal private sessions with each child, in the privacy of
a study with the gas fire turned up so that both tutor and pupil can disrobe
in comfort.


And why not, if both parties are agreeable?

There are plenty of cases of teachers successfully marrying their
students.

I assume that you are thinking more of a university setting than a
primary school..

However, university results do depend to a very great extent on the
expressed views of the student's tutor. An impassioned plea at an exam
board can make a great deal of difference, for a start. The idea though
is that the passion should be as a result of the student's bent for
academia, not academics.

Please provide evidence of you accusation. The figure you quote is
highly inaccurate and shows a lack of knowledge. I do not hide that
my husband was forced into a guilty plea for 'making' ten 'images'- of
which only one was ever viewed and the record shows it was for 3
seconds. The other 9 were never viewed. Once the Encase report was
independently checked, it turned out that only one was a 'borderline
indecent image'. I suggest you learn the facts before you attack.

The term "unemployable" is a nonsense term, an emotive term.

Comparing yourself to Mr Pinnington is a pointless exercise. *If you hope to
build a head of steam that will result in the sweeping away of the child
protection laws, you are not only wasting your time but trying to put the
country back fifty years when children could be abused with impunity.

Mr Pinnington is an ex headmaster who was at one time under suspicion of
sexually abusing mentally handicapped pupils and that fact must remain on
his record. It doesn't seem very fair on him, but he can't be the only
professional person in that position and the solution is probably for
employers to take a more sensible view of the significance of such a CRB
record.

You - since you bring it up - are apparently affected by the fact that your
husband or partner was convicted of possession of indecent images of
children. I don't see why that should make *you* unemployable at all. *If it
does, then it is extremely unfair and worthy of a very public campaign. I am
not sure that you are fully committed to such a campaign since there seems
to be no website that sets out clearly what your grievance is. You have
occasionally alluded to websites that refer obliquely to Operation Ore.
That may inadvertently give the impression that you are campaigning for the
legalisation of child pornography, which can only undermine any public
sympathy for your situation. You probably need a Max Clifford to advise you.


I have made clear that I have a website- I have also made clear that I
do not condone or support child abuse or child pornography. Indeed my
site states specifically 'We are campaigning for REAL child protection
for REAL children'. And I have been in the newspapers and on tv
stating, ' I can not think of a single child better off because of
Ore.'

And yes, I am 'unemployable'- share a home with a RSO-makes me via
association unfit to do my job.

It doesn't make you unfit do do *any* job though, does it? Or are
non-CRB-disclosure jobs beneath you?

Having paedophiles and their apologists running "justics for kids" campaigns
is like hearing that Pete Doherty has become the new spokesman for "just say
no".

[snip]

It's cases like this that make me extremely angry. This is not
justice. It is a travesty of justice. Why doesn't the accused take his
case to the ECHR? Or flood the international press, documentary
makers, and any other people with clout with letters. I'm sure there
are many thousands of journalists and others world-wide who would be
appalled to read the details of this and similar cases. The police, of
course, are simply covering their arses and do not care one whit for
either John Pinnington or autistic children.

Another appalling, dreadful example of British "justice". I am simply
gobsmacked that there aren't tens of thousands of UK citizens
protesting in the streets against judgements like these.

Fine. But he is being denied not because of that but because of false
allegations, even found as such by a judge.

Every second Thursday, John Pinnington follows the same, rather bleak
routine.

After breakfast, he heads to his local JobCentre, where he collects
his dole money for the week ahead.

It is a paltry sum, a mere fraction of what he used to earn when he
was the respected deputy headmaster of an Oxfordshire college for
young adults with learning difficulties.

He and his wife Rosie no longer enjoy the comforts of the lifestyle
they once led.

Instead of playing the martyr and appealing for help from Daily Wail
readers, he should behave like a professional. Apply for jobs, submit his
CV
and explain if necessary with a copy of the court judgment that he is in
fact scrupulously honest and has never abused anyone.

But he has probably got himself a reputation now as a whinger and a
troublemaker.


Again, you have no idea.

WM



The rules have been introduced at the demand of the red tops, a few are
bound to suffer best he find another job where he dont need a check.


He could effectively be unemployable. I have read that "even" plumbers
and similar craftsmen have been required to be CRB checked. Bus
driver? Nope. Checkout operator? Nope. You could go through a list as
long as your arm and the answer would always be "nope".

It's probably because most people have little sympathy for people
caught like this. A 'where there's smoke there's fire' mentality.
As you say, an appalling situation when an unproven accusation is
all it takes to ruin someones life.

Maybe, but shelf stacking in any supermarket and in many other types
of store will inevitably bring people into contact with children. I
know it's ludicrous, but this is what the arse-covering brigade will
immediately claim and nothing will divert them from it.

I know what the police will say if asked: "Well, you shouldn't cause
unfounded allegations to be made against you!"
