The Minister for Children, Young People and Families has published two consultation documents as part of reviews of the Vetting and Barring scheme.

The consultations come of the back of the Government's Chief Advisor on the Safety of Children, Sir Roger Singleton's recent report 'Drawing the Line'.

The first consultation reviews statutory requirements and the Government's advice for Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) disclosures for safeguarding purposes on employees who work with vulnerable groups, when they are registered with the ISA.

Second consultation views whether there is contining need for the seperate class of work with different requiremnets, defined in the 'Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006' as 'Controlled activity'.
