A caretaker of a church in Stratford-upon-Avon is among members refusing to sign Criminal Records Bureau forms because they have no direct contact with children in performing their duties. But its diocese, Coventry, requires all clergy, paid and voluntary staff to complete forms. The dispute comes days after a survey highlighted the "dangerously low" levels of safeguards in some churches. See analysis, p12.

- Modern artist Tracey Emin and the head of a primary school are at loggerheads. Four years ago, the artist worked with a class of eight-year-olds to create a patchwork quilt.

No way, says the Madonna of contemporary conceptual art. She refuses to authenticate it as her own work, thus lowering the potential sale price. And anyway, she wants it back. The press have been considering the rights and wrongs of this. Is Ms Emin trying to have it both ways? Is the school being prudent or avariciously materialistic?
