But Pat, how can an article “make clear” that there are no exceptions, if it’s not what the law actually says? In all the illustrative examples on the government website, ‘working with children’ means groups of children – not adults with the odd child thrown in. And it means regular.
I could still be wrong, but it looks like the CS advice that you are quoting is, despite it's unequivocal wording, stating the CS view (or policy?) not the law. And as Andy says, this (rather extreme, IMO) interpretation isn’t being followed. No reason why it should really (except for junior tournaments obviously), without a bit more explanation of the CS view. Cheers anyway, guess we'll be seeing some clarification soon :-)
