Have any of you been informed by your development officers as to who is going to pay for the new CRB & ISA checks which are coming into effect this year.
QUOTE:
On October 12th 2009 – the ISA’s responsibilities for barring individuals who pose a known risk from working or volunteering with children and vulnerable adults will be further strengthened as more sectors – such as the NHS and the Prison Service – will come under the Scheme and new criminal offences will come into force.
While the ISA is presently making decisions based on the current legislation, it is also ensuring that both the right people and systems are in place for all phases of the Scheme - the October roll-out; July 2010 when those covered by the Scheme can apply and the November 2010 date when those covered by the Scheme must apply. This work entails:
Recruiting and providing intensive training to its caseworkers
Working with the Criminal Records Bureau to design and agree processes
Migrate the three old lists into the two new ones (Childrens and Adults)
Ensuring the IT infrastructure is in place and effective
Developing relationships and protocols with key partners and stakeholders
Participate in a major direct marketing and awareness campaign
