The international child protection certificate would be more invaluable, don't you think? But then if you were a qualified teacher and knowledgable of the law, you would know this.A criminal background check cannot determine if you are a peadophile or not. Let's say for example they find out I have a conviction for car theft (I have not by the way!!!!), how would they know if I am hiding the fact am I a peado?

No, I would say countries like Oman have it right, blood test on the first day, and then depending on results of that, fingerprints taken and retina scan and background check done by the Royal Omani Police. You then commit any crimes or owe any debts and you cannot flit the country. Therefore the onus is on you to be a good citizen, and not be held to account over some stupid background check paper like the Chinese want, which is really absolutely superfluous and unneeded and an extra financial and physical burden to UK ft's. Just my opinion mind, not saying yours is wrong, you may well be right.
