Employers will be required to ensure that any staff they have working with children or vulnerable adults are checked by the ISA and have gone through the registration process with the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB). This will be via a registered umbrella body (like us), the same system currently used for obtaining CRB Enhanced Disclosures.
Once their worker is registered, the employer will receive a certificate showing the person’s ISA status (plus any information revealed during the CRB searches). Subsequent employers will be able to check their ISA status online free of charge (unless they are under a duty to apply for an Enhanced CRB check).
All ISA-registered individuals will be subject to continuous monitoring. When new information, such as a conviction or caution or a referral from an employer, becomes known about an individual already registered with the ISA, the Authority will review its original decision not to bar. Where an employer has already checked on an employee’s status with the ISA, that employer will be notified automatically if their employee’s status changes.
