Fair Play for Children have released a report Out with the Bathwater? This report looks at the government's proposal to review the Vetting and Barring scheme - the scheme set up by the previous government to protect children, vulnerable adults and those who work with them. The report looks at how CRB checks and the new scheme emerged, asks some key questions, and makes radical recommendations.

The think tank New Philanthropy Capital has released a paper Proving Your Worth to Whitehall which encourages charities to prove their value to the deficit-cutting government. The paper uses the nine questions the Treasury will ask every Whitehall department to answer during the autumn spending review, and applies them to a charity. They include whether an activity provides substantial economic value and whether it is essential for meeting government priorities.
