VULNERABLE adults have been put at risk after thousands of known offenders were allowed to work in care homes, a Labour Party inquiring revealed Yesterday.
The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) allows employers to sanction people with recorded offences from working with vulnerable adults.
But Labour released statistics showing a 90 per cent drop in the number of people being prevented from working with the elderly and disabled.
DYLAN MURPHY reports that far from helping people back into work, the sanctions regime is inflicting unnecessary trauma on working-class families
CLAUDIA WEBBE argues that Labour gains nothing from its adoption of right-wing stances on immigration, and seems instead to be deliberately paving the way for the far right to become an established force in British politics, as it has already in Europe
A new report by Amnesty International pulls no punches in highlighting the Labour government’s human rights violations of those on benefits, says Dr DYLAN MURPHY
