VETTING AND BARRING SCHEME PUT ON HOLD
The Home Office has announced that the Vetting and Barring Scheme (VBS) for those worrking with children and vulnerable adults will be put on hold so that it can be remodelled to proportionate and common sense levels. This means that the Independent Safeguarding Authority registration stage of the scheme due to start on 26 July 2010 has been stopped.
While awaiting details of the remodelling of the scheme local authority employers should proceed on the basis that:
- the existing requirements concerning Criminal Bureau Checks remain in place and those checks must be carried out where necessary; and
- the parts of the VBS put in place in October 2009 continue
