The cost of applying to register with the Vetting and
Barring Scheme has been set at £64. This is comprised of a £28
fee to cover the ISA's costs and £36 to cover the CRB's costs as
administrator of the applications.
The figures and forecasts for the first five years of the
scheme’s operation have been analysed and the £28 figure is based
on cost-recovery for the scheme – that is, what it will cost to
ensure the scheme is self-financed during that period.
The fee will be a one-off payment and is intended to cover the
applicant for the duration of their career in regulated activity.
Only those involved in unpaid voluntary activity will not have to
pay the application fee.
