(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Police Act 1997 (Criminal Records) Regulations 2002 which make detailed provisions in relation to applications for criminal record certificates and enhanced criminal record certificates under Part V of the Police Act 1997.

By virtue of section 81 of the Care Standards Act 2000, the Secretary of State is under a duty to keep a list of individuals who are considered unsuitable to work with vulnerable adults. A new regulation 8 is substituted which specifies the details of information drawn from the list kept under section 81 of the Care Standards Act 2000, which will appear on criminal record certificates and enhanced criminal record certificates.
