Possible Changes to ISA Registration and CRB Checks

Changes to be announced in the New Year to ISA registration and CRB Checks

  • Until the recommendations from both the Vetting and Barring and Criminal Records reviews are announced early in the New Year, we cannot pre-determine any changes to the service.
  • Whilst the review is being undertaken, customers are reminded:
  • To continue to apply for CRB checks as normal, referring to the appropriate guidance for completing the new application form. There are no changes to the current process
  • There is still a duty to refer information to the ISA if you consider that an individual has caused harm or poses an ongoing risk to vulnerable groups
  • The ISA will still continue to be responsible for decisions to bar those considered unsuitable for work with children and vulnerable adults.
  • If you would like to discuss possible ISA registration please call 01254 355688
  • If you or your organisation wish to comment please email the review team at crb@personnelchecks.co.uk

What is ISA Registration?

  • ISA registration is a register of people considered unsuitable and who are prevented from working or volunteering with vulnerable members of society. i.e. Children (under 18yrs old) and/or Vulnerable Adults
  • ISA registration lasts a lifetime and need only to be applied for once by each individual.
  • ISA does not replace a CRB Check. CRB checks must still be carried out by anyone working in regulated activity
  • The new crb application forms recently introduced, will be used for CRB checks and ISA registration.
  • The Independent Safeguarding Authority

 

Please Note: ISA Registration has now been scrapped. Please call the team on 01254 355688 for more information.
