The Court was asked whether a disqualification order could be made under Section 28 of the 2000 Act, disqualifying an adult from working with children, based on an offence committed before the 2000 Act came into force.
Held: A relatively relaxed approach was required. The conviction was a gateway criterion for the making of an order.
