Vetting and Barring Update
Latest Information - July 2010

The Anticipated changes to Government legislation on caring for children and vulnerable adults are now subject to a review. Click here for a copy letter which was recently sent to all NWBA churches.

Although many aspects of the anticipated changes are now on hold, it is important for churches to note:

o
Although ISA registration is currently deferred, CRB checks are still strongly encouraged for relevant workers
o
CRB applications to CAS need to be made on new forms recently sent to churches. Stocks of old forms should be destroyed.
o
It is still required that anyone who has been disciplined or dismissed for placing children and vulnerable adults at risk, is referred to ISA.
In order to keep you updated and to help you be certain that you are operating within the law, NWBA is seeking to establish a Safeguarding Contact for each church. If your church does not have a contact yet, please download a contact form and send it to us.

Latest information is regularly published in BUGB transform magazine which is regularly sent to all Church Secretaries. Look out for updates as they become available.

Please note - this legislation will affect all churches even if you do not have a structured children’s work, youth programme or activities for older people. It is important that you remain updated/

NWBA will shortly be organising a series of training and briefing evenings - these will be geographically spread across the region. Once dates and venues are finalised you will find details on this page.

We will use this page to provide regular updates and reminders so please re-visit regularly.
