CHANGES to the Constitution over the exchange of information about suspected perverts could create a recruitment crisis in childcare, it was claimed yesterday. The president of the Irish Association of Social Care Workers gave the warning to more than 120 delegates at its annual conference in Limerick Limerick, city, Republic of Ireland Limerick, city (1991 pop. 56,083), seat of Co. Limerick, SW Republic of Ireland, at the head of the Shannon estuary. The city has a port with two docks. . Phil McFadden said the association welcomed any measures to strengthen child protection. But he added: "We are concerned that the use of 'soft information' in the vetting vet 1 Informal n. A veterinarian. v. vet·ted, vet·ting, vets v.tr. 1. To subject to veterinary evaluation, examination, medication, or surgery. 2. process would allow accusations of abuse, even when the allegations have been dropped or proved to be unfounded." Mr McFadden said this could leave innocent staff unprotected against false allegations. |
