ISA
Referral Guidance
From October 12th 2009, a new
duty to share information is being introduced under the Vetting and
Barring Scheme. From that date employers, social services and
professional regulators will have to notify the ISA of relevant
information so that individuals who pose a threat to vulnerable
groups can be identified and barred from working with these
groups.
To help you understand the new referral
process, we have published a guidance
document and the new referral form.
The guidance sets out:
- the key elements of the new referral process
- the circumstances under which a referral should be made
- the legal responsibilities of employers, including the paid and
voluntary sector and also employees.
- the main points of the law in relation to referrals
Please note that the current guidance
notes and forms should be used up until 12 October
2009, at which point the new guidance and referral
form must be used.
Please e-mail
the ISA if you have any further queries.
