Vetting and Barring Scheme - October 12th 2009

This is a sub page of ISA-gov.org.uk that helps inform readers of what the scheme is about come October 12th - Employers and volunteer organisations

Thanks for that - I wonder if we'll get any official notification or if they are waiting to us all to find out by osmosis!

LOL!

Cheshire have told us a few bits about it but not much.

I wonder what difference it will make? :smile:

An add to this thread with a news article from Community cares - Vetting and Barring scheme to be scaled back

Quote:

It is expected that the onus will be shifted to employers to ensure their staff are safe to work with vulnerable groups.

Community Care understands that criminal record checks will be sent to individuals only so job applicants or volunteers can present their disclosures to prospective employers. It will be the responsibility of employers to request further details or checks if they have concerns, but it is unclear whether they would incur extra costs.

The assessment feedback is considerably poor regarding specific question failure but the safer recruitment portal from CWDC is a valuable tool for a setting's employment personnel, policies & procedures. The recruiting safer guidance is informative.
