(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order is made under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (c. 47) (“the 2006 Act”). A person included in a specified children’s or adults’ list maintained by the Disclosure and Barring Service will be barred under the 2006 Act from regulated activity relating to the relevant group.
Under paragraphs 6 and 12 of Schedule 3 to the 2006 Act, a person must not be included in the relevant barred list in England and Wales only on a particular ground if a relevant Scottish authority has already considered whether the person should be included in a corresponding list on the same ground. This Order specifies a relevant Scottish authority and a corresponding list for the purposes of paragraphs 6 and 12 of Schedule 3 to the 2006 Act.
Article 3 of this Order specifies the Scottish Ministers as a relevant Scottish authority.
Article 4 specifies that the children’s list and the adults’ list maintained by the Scottish Ministers under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007 (asp 14) correspond respectively to the children’s barred list and the adults’ barred list maintained under the 2006 Act.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
