Work Matters: Management Focus - Vetting & barring - Ready to register

Early years providers are being offered guidance on working with the Vetting and Barring scheme. Karen Faux reports.

Government guidance on the Vetting and Barring Scheme is now available to help employers implement change this July.

The scheme, delivered by the Criminal Records Bureau and the Independent Safeguarding Authority, aims to prevent unsuitable people, who could pose a risk or harm children or vulnerable adults, from being able to work or volunteer with these groups.

From July, employees and volunteers starting work in an organisation or a role affected by the new rules can become ISA registered.

The new guidance document contains detailed information about what actions employers and employees will be required to take under the scheme and what they should do in preparation for 26 July when it begins.
