It shouldn’t happen to a vetting database
John Ozimek, writing in The Register, has been trying to find out why the Department of Children, Schools and Families says authors visiting schools must be on the ISA database, but Government Ministers needn’t:
A spokesman said: “The minister works for the department and they visit the school to see things. The author has been invited in by the school to provide a service. Many of them charge. Even if they don’t they are still working.”
In other words, Ministers do not work: they merely visit.
