I'm not saying you are, but in case anyone reading conflates the two issues (personal protection and sport/breeding assessments) in Schutzhund/was IPO now IP/IGP you can't go forward to do any of it unless the dog has passed the BH (traffic safe companion dog test).
The dog must be able to be scanned for a microchip/walk through a group of people and touched by the judge before it can start the trial.
If the dog DQs in obedience, it cannot proceed to protection. If it DQs in protection for lack of control, all points are lost for tracking and obedience. In fact if it DQs in any phase.
If the dog doesn't react after three commands (recall, let go of dumbbell, let go of sleeve etc) it's DQ.
At big competitions the dog must undergo a rigorous vet check.
They **cannot** be aggressive to humans and in obedience two dogs report in together and one works while the other stays in a down. So no dog aggression either.
The dog can be DQd at any time before it gets it's workbook back.
When I assess dogs I do pretty much the second part of the BH or condensed ZAP WT character evaluation (which has more environmental elements) with no heeling pattern/down stay.

On the news just now, little boy has been named, a number of dogs have been seized and one euthanized, breed confirmed to be Cane Corso, one man has been arrested
Yes, and the police have referred themselves on as they had previously been called to dog related incidents at that address .
'GMP said it was looking at previous incidents involving dogs at the home, close to the M62 motorway, and had referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct "due to previous contact".'

I'm not alone in thinking that the Cane Corso is a banned breed, but apparently it's not?

It's not. It might be the Presa Canario you are thinking of?
The two mastiff breeds that are banned here are the Tosa Inu and the Fila Brasileiro. Cane Corsos and Presa Canarios aren't, though the Cane Corso is significantly more popular than the later. There's been litter after litter of them on preloved even since before the pandemic, many from dubious breeders.
Shouting is a sure fire way to wind up my terrier!! He has no aggression whatsoever but shouting or if my children are play fighting excites him hugely. I think aggressive shouting is probably potentially a dangerous thing to do with an unknown dog in a dodgy situation though it can be hard to avoid. Grim.
Seems there’s been trouble at the same address before when a passing walker was bitten by two TMs. I’ve seen the injury photo and it’s horrific.
TMs?

? Tibetan Mastiff
Maybe Tibetan Mastiffs
It would seem from a post made on the ITVnews post on fb, that the previous resident of the property had bred Cane Corso’s, but had left them behind when fleeing an abusive relationship. Their fb profile shows at least two adults (male and a breeding bitch), plus puppies for sale.
Sorry, Tibetan Mastiffs.

Tragic, but the outcome could have been even worse. I used to help run a small dog foundation in Europe, and we were extremely careful about this sort of thing. A dog with these issues would have been PTS rather than rehomed. Now this may sound harsh, but you have to consider that, whatever you write in the contract, you have no idea what will happen to the dog once it leaves your hands. Stipulating 'must always be muzzled in public' or 'not to be around children' is just not good enough, because you cannot enforce this. There are thousands of non-aggressive dogs who need homes, and I just find it foolish that the charity sent this dog off to be a pet. No matter where you live you cannot exclude the possibility that a dog may come into contact with children, or that it may get loose from the leash.
