Regulation 9 Review by the Secretary of State
Save where—
regulation 8(1)(b) or (c) applies, or
a direction was given on the grounds that a person is unsuitable to work with children and the person claims that he is no longer unsuitable to work with children,
a direction given under section 142 of the 2002 Act (“the earlier direction”) may be revoked or varied by a subsequent direction on either or both of the grounds referred to in paragraph (2).
The grounds upon which an earlier direction may be revoked or varied under paragraph (1) are that—
the Secretary of State is in possession of information relevant to the decision to give the earlier direction which he did not have at the time that the decision was made; and
the Secretary of State is in possession of evidence of a material change of circumstances of the person concerned occurring since the earlier direction was given.
Where regulation 8(1)(b) applies an earlier direction shall be revoked if the name of the person concerned is removed from the list referred to in that paragraph.
Where regulation 8(1)(c) applies an earlier direction shall be revoked if the disqualification order ceases to have effect.
