The Warner Report at the end of 1992 proposed new means of recruiting and selecting people to work in residential child care. The aim was to minimise the risk of abuse to children looked after by local authorities following a series of high profile court cases. In attempting to identify more accurately the “right” sort of person to work in residential care the Warner Report lay heavy emphasis on pre-employment screening by means of a criminal record check. The article explains the administrative and ethical questions raised by checks and tries to locate the Warner Report in a wider theoretical context
