Registration with the Vetting and Barring Scheme Halted

It has been announced by the Government that Registration with the Vetting and Barring Scheme has been halted to allow them to remodel the scheme back to more common sense levels. Voluntary registration for the VBS for new employees, those changing jobs, and for those seeking to work with children or vulnerable adults, will not start from 26th July 2010 as originally planned. In my opinion, employers should continue to undertake all relevant CRB checks for new employees wishing to work with children or vulnerable adults.
