Bury Times reader's letter: Jailed minister John Beaumont should have been subject to the same checks as nurses and carers

Until year ago, I lived and was brought up in Ramsbottom.

My mother died nine years ago and I was put in touch with him through the undertaker.

Are these people not subject to checks like nurses, carers, etc?

I am totally shocked that someone like him was walking the streets given his criminal record in Scotland.

I would not let him near my mother or my family had I known, or let him conduct my mother's funeral.

I am sure there are many more like me.

It has sickened me to the core.
