How safe are our children in the care of a stranger? How much do we know about the people we work with? How far would we go to protect ourselves?

A town that's haunted by an incident at the nearby Scouts centre. Regular swimming lessons come to a halt when a swimming instructor is accused of inappropriately touching a child during a lesson – and the dangers of Facebook creep to the surface. When history appears to repeat itself what can we do but expect the worst.

Put on your water-wings, listen to the evidence and decide for yourself...
