So, my question should have been how would this ever come up? How would the employer know someone was a pedophile? Or is it merely a hypothetical?
I'm saying that employers having such a policy is actually harmful to the children they are trying to protect, because any pedophiles that do apply, and who would have gone undetected, cannot as easily seek help.
I was probably reading too much into your comment though, sorry!
PS: are you suggesting employers ask people if they are pedophiles?
For the last part employers do a CRB check, but they wouldn't ask that question on the basis of it being unreasonable to expect an honest answer so I definitely wouldn't suggest that.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
