Childcare campaigners are due to go to Westminster today (Thursday) to meet MPs and voice their concerns about further delays to the start of the Criminal Records Bureau, which is now not set to go 'live' until 2002. Tricia Pritchard, professional officer with the Professional Association of Nursery Nurses, said, 'The long-promised Criminal Records Bureau disclosure service will not now be operating until next spring at the earliest. Even then, most of its data will be unreliable. We have been told that up to 60 per cent of the police records on which the Bureau will depend are inaccurate.'
