I am getting a bit confused about the ISA/CRB - do I need both or does the ISA replace the CRB checks - any guidance would be most appreciated.

more resources and information on vetting and barring

BBC1's Panorama looked at the impact of the new Vetting and Barring Scheme, run by the new Independent Safeguarding Authority, in its programme on Monday (8th February), see here:  www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00qs991

 

Volunteering England published survey results on the same day showing high levels of confusion amongst volunteer involving organisations on how the scheme is to operate. VE said "We still believe the Vetting and Barring Scheme can in some ways improve volunteering organisations' work with children and vulnerable adults, but the ISA must not underestimate the scale of the challenge they face in ensuring volunteering organisations understand how the scheme will affect them." See VE news item here.

The government also published a 'Vetting and barring myth buster'. It gives examples of when registration is not required, focusing on areas highlighted by the media in recent months, in particular personal and family arrangements. See here
