It's a difficult area, isn't it? Protection of vulnerable people vs reduction of bias against ex-offenders. I once offered a guy a job with elders, and he had been inside for murder. Looks bad? Well, once we had talked about the offence, his stretch, and had acquired references from the right people, and had talked it through with the elders and their families, it turned out ok. He was worth taking a punt on, we had included the people who he was going to have contact with, it had actually brought people together as a bonus because they HAD to talk to each other about it! It was a risk, indeed, for me as much as anyone!! Reputations and careers were on the line! But life is a risk, isn't it?!
