427.New section 113C consolidates the provisions for criminal record certificates relating to searches done when the applicant wants to work with children. It also gives the CRB access to additional lists maintained in Scotland and Northern Ireland which are comparable to the lists maintained in England and Wales of people who are unsuitable to work with children, and an order-making power to allow the Secretary of State to add more such lists in the future (new section 113C(3)). This gives effect to the remainder of recommendation 31 of the Bichard Inquiry report. (Disclosure Scotland would similarly have access to lists maintained in England and Wales and in Northern Ireland.) The section also brings a child’s prospective special guardian and other people living in the same household within the scope of the categories of people in relation to whom criminal or enhanced criminal record certificates can include information in relation to matters specified in new section 113C(1).
