....by 'Big Brother' vetting checks.
Quote:
Workers judged to be lonely and to have a chaotic home life could be barred from working with vulnerable people, even though there is no evidence that they pose a risk, according to guidelines from the Government's new vetting agency.
Decisions about staff will be taken by officials who have never met them, based on details passed on by their employers.
Experts claimed that the "Big Brother" approach meant innocent people could have their careers wrecked on the basis of cruel rumours or ill-informed moral judgements.
And of course we will be reassured to hear that those doing the vetting are adequately qualified to make that judgement....won't we?

ISA's case workers, who have no minimum qualification or experience, make their decision about whether someone should be barred from working with children or vulnerable adults without ever seeing the person.
They are expected to establish the person's relationship history and emotional state based on the file passed on by their employer.
