Johnno Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Regulating Trust: Who Will be on the Vetting Database? The document by that name on the linked site may be of interest to some of you. Moderation: Potentially valid discussion considering how many BR members work with youth clubs, schools, etc. but not really a "technical" topic so we've moved this to the Office.

pritch Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 This page, from the Independent Safeguarding Authority does help define in (slightly) better clarity who needs to be registered: http://www.isa-gov.org.uk/Default.aspx?page=314 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Newlands Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 It has too be better than the current situation, where every time you are asked to work with a new group or setting you need to apply for a CRB check, which takes 40 days. This is particularly true if you are working with many councils, they all require separate checks currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Will the ISA listing replace the CRB check or supliment it? CRB failure indicates that the courts have found against you in a trial, what is to stop a malicious employer putting you on the banned list with no trial, no hearing, no reason? My firm has just sent a colleague a written warning for taking 7 days off with swine flu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6th Order Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 As I understand it, the Vetting and Barring Service will NOT replace CRB checks. However if you are not registered, you will not be able to even apply to work or volunteer for a position which requires it. It would be illegal for any organisation to allow you to work in such a position without a valid registration irrespective of the contents of a CRB check. Registration is a one off thing though (with up to date CRB checks made as required.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lightnix Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 On the other hand, with today's news that over 1500 people in the last year, have either... a) Been incorrectly labelled as criminals b) Been incorrectly given a clean record ...by those sacred guardians of public safety, The Criminal Records Bureau - can any of us reasonably have faith in this so-called "system"? :unsure: I mean... how will you feel when your "routine" CRB check comes back saying that you're a convicted rapist :) See also... (from last year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
