The DCSF - :clapping: :clapping: not us.
This was on their website today:
We have now had confirmation from DCSF that the cost of registering on the new VBS will be paid in full for current and new childminders and their family members which is good news. This has been posted up on our website today .
The exact information from DCSF is as follows:
'Registration on the new Vetting and Barring Scheme (VBS), with the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) will be phased in over a 5 year period. Part of the process for ISA registration includes an application for an enhanced CRB disclosure.
From July 2010 to March 2011 ISA registrations will only be for new Ofsted registered childcare providers, new childcare employees and new childminders and other household members, aged 16 and over, in childminding premises . From April 2011 registrations will additionally begin for the existing workforce and existing childminder household members, but given the volume of ISA registrations needed these will be phased in gradually.
Once registrations for the scheme starts in July next year DCSF will be subsiding the total cost of ISA registration (£64 per person) for new Ofsted registered childcare provision, new childcare employees, new childminders and other household members, aged 16 and over, in childminding premises. DCSF will also be subsidising the total cost of ISA registration from April 2011 for existing provision.'
Can anyone make sense of this? I have re read it and I think that in the first paragraph it says we won't have to pay and in the last one that we will be subsidised.
Maybe it is late?
