The ISA: the great child protection racket
The youth theatre club run by Linda Chadwick is so popular that children queue up to perform and parents regularly help out with productions. Yet the group, in Alcester, Warwickshire, may have to close because of regulations being introduced for anyone working or volunteering with children or vulnerable people.
Like thousands of others, Chadwick, 58, fears that the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) will make her life impossible. She contacted it to find out whether the 30-odd adults who help with the plays — making sets, sewing costumes and chaperoning children — would have to register. The answer was yes.
