Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006

Section 41: Registers: duty to refer

133.This section sets out circumstances in which a professional body whose register is specified in section 41(7) is under a duty to provide prescribed information to the IBB. Broadly, these circumstances are that the professional body thinks that:

a.

an individual who appears on its register or list satisfies any of the criteria under which he could be barred or considered for barring under Schedule 3,

b.

the individual is engaged or may engage in a regulated or controlled activity, and

c.

the IBB may consider it appropriate for the individual to be included in a barred list.

134.This section also provides professional bodies with a power to refer information to the IBB. This power applies where the professional body thinks that a person has engaged in relevant conduct before commencement of the section, that the information may lead to the person’s inclusion in a barred list and that the person is engaged or may engage in regulated or controlled activity.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
