[Ansteorra] Bad things

[Richard Threlkeld]

The person taking care of your child is not doing so as an official part of
an SCA event, so he/she would not need to meet any standards the SCA sets
for SCA activities. At least that is the current guess about what the BoD
will put in place. 

Also, having someone who is checked present but busy with something that
keeps them from observing the children defeats the purpose of child
protection. And requiring all officers to get checked on general principles
is a cost and invasion of privacy that is not warranted by the benefit to
the children or the Society, IMHO.

So you're saying if my husband has to work late, and I have to take my child
to fighter practice with me to be baby sat by one of the fighter's ladies
(she's already volunteered), I have to have someone there that's passed a
background check? Perhaps we should make all of the officers have a
background check. They have to be there (marshal if it's fighter practice at
least) and they can serve the two functions. I don't think it's a bad idea,
especially since if a child's in trouble, they'll likely seek out someone
like an officer for help.

Known in these Current Middle Ages as Lady Grainne Kathleen NicPadraig
MacDaniel None is deceived but he who trusts too much.


I believe it was an officer or person whose official function in the SCA
requires them to work with children.

They cannot require anyone but officers to get background checks. However,
they can require that any official SCA function (and that includes fighter
practices and *may* include guild meetings) where children are present have
at least one person who has been checked and practice two deep adult rules.
This would be simllar to requiring a Marshal at any official SCA activities
that include fighting.

Correct me if I am wrong but did not the original announcement mention
*anyone* working with children? Wouldn't that include any parent volunteers?
