I have been undertaking our young persons risk assessments for full time and work experience employees. One of the issues from a check list (I found) was that of physical or physcological abuse.
Speaking to Diclosure Scotland (for criminal records checks) they state that any employee under 18 is a child and their supervisor requires a full criminal record check.
I realise aspects of this relate to HR policy (which I am awaiting clarification), but does anyone have any information relating or experience in this matter?

We have a young female (16 year old) working in the office - she is not allowed to be in the office unles an adult female (over 18)is also present.
I also work with a charity and when we organise rock shows, we have lots of kids - 8 - 18 involved on stage. Our policy is that anyone who may have contact with them is that they undergo the CRB check. This is includes everyone from Trustees and stage crew, to the organisers and chaperones. They are then kept segregated from everyone else apart from when they are on stage or after they have been collected by their parents or guardians.
In schools no male member of staff should be alone with a female pupil unless accompanied by a female.
This is often a policy designed to protect the teacher as much as the pupil. A matter you may like to consider yourselves.
Regards
Simon

I can't quite see why only male teachers / office staff can't be alone with a female child.
If that is the policy, shouldn't it be any (female or male) teachers / office staff being alone with a female or male child.
Can't see why you distinguish between the sexes.
