[cma-l] Precedent

[Karl Hartland]

Hi Phil

Oh granted of course, this case was a bit of a clanger (all due respect 
to those who would have had responsibility for training said youngling) 
but who among us haven't had a volunteer stand in front of us and, 
despite all evidence to the contrary, have said "I honestly didn't know 
that? <blink blink blush>"

There can be a world of difference between an ILR jock who has been 
crawling up the greasy pole for years, whose mortgage and kids depend on 
their broadcasting within the law, and the guy/gal who puts together a 
CR show when they finishes their shift/day at the hospital, PO, local 
club, taxi firm, FE college....

As much as we try to put the correct type of fear, based on sound 
knowledge of the risks and thorough B/C training, into our programme 
makers, as time goes on I'm wondering just how big that gap is, whether 
we're actually being complacent about the training ethic seeing 
everything right and whether or not some kind of safety net is actually 
a good idea....
