Yep - without effective monitoring, no set of rules is going to improve things! Trouble is, while the "profession" is developing standards based on monitoring by Curator "wicket-keepers", Gov't has been decimating the ranks of said curators, making the necessary workload untenable...
(Kinda reminds me of the gun-ban kneejerk legislation after Dunblane. If the authorities had managed to enforce the laws already in place at the time, that loser wouldn't have had guns in the first place. Sadly, too much of our legislative framework is undermined by lack of resources to implement it properly - while we pay muppets to make up new laws to clean up after the latest enforcement failure!)
