  "short_title": "Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups (Regulated Activity, Devolution Alignment and Miscellaneous Provisions) 2010",
  "long_title": "This Order amends the definition of regulated activity in the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups (Northern Ireland) Order 2007 (“the 2007 Order”). It also makes amendments to the definitions of controlled activity in Articles 25 and 26 of the 2007 Order and provides for the Independent Safeguarding Authority (“the ISA”) to be able to disclose information to police forces in England, Wales and Scotland. Part 6 makes a number of miscellaneous amendments, some of which are required: in consequence of Health and Social Care reform in Northern Ireland; to provide greater flexibility in relation to monitoring; and greater clarity in relation to the requirement to refer to the ISA as it relates to Keepers of Registers. The ISA is a statutory non-departmental public body established under section 1 of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 and is under a duty to establish the children’s barred list and the adults’ barred list. The ISA is tasked with making barring decisions relating to people who are unsuitable to work with vulnerable groups.",
