Charities and campaigners say vetting brands volunteers as paedophiles

There are growing fears that vetting is putting off volunteers, and casting suspicion on people whose motive is to help. Watch this frank discussion between Baroness Julia Neuberger, Chair of the Commission on the Future of Volunteering; Josie Appleton, from the Manifesto Club’s Campaign against Vetting; and Mervyn Barrett, from the crime reduction charity NACRO.

This discussion features on WORLDbytes, the online magazine news channel created by volunteers at WORLDwrite. It aims to get behind the headlines and promote a people-first perspective on a wide-range of issues; the programme’s credo is “don’t shout at the telly, change the message on it”.
