Sorry I have been away from things very busy with college work and that and missed out on what was going on. From my point of view the CRB checks would then have to be brought in if we had under 16's. Although like wikipedia where you can sign up at any age there is no physical contact with the other users unless there is wikimania or something and even then it is tightly organised. Just a thought anyway.
