Course programme

PLEASE NOTE – This course is awaiting an update due to forthcoming changes in legislation.

Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA)

The Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) course will raise your awareness of the events leading up to the Bichard Inquiry of 2004 and subsequent legislation which places certain duties upon employers and employees to ensure the safety of children, young people and vulnerable adults.

The new Vetting and Barring Scheme (VBS) is run by the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) which will work alongside the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) to strengthen current employee vetting systems. The new scheme will help identify those who are unsuitable to work with children and vulnerable adults and bar them from gaining access to them through their work or voluntary activity.

It is now a criminal offence for individuals barred by the ISA to work or apply to work with children or vulnerable adults. Employers also face criminal sanctions for knowingly employing a barred individual across a wider range of work. Employers, local authorities, professional regulators and other bodies have a duty to refer to the ISA, information about individuals working with children or vulnerable adults where they consider them to have caused harm or pose a risk of harm.
