EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order brings into force section 63(1) of, and paragraph 14(1) and (4) of Schedule 9 to, the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (c. 47) (“the Act”), insofar as those provisions insert sections 113BA (suitability information relating to children) and 113BB (suitability information relating to vulnerable adults) into the Police Act 1997 (1997 c. 50). The Order further specifies that sections 113BA and 113BB are brought into force only for the purpose of making regulations under those sections.

The Order also brings into force section 50 of the Act (provision of information to supervisory authorities) but only insofar as it requires the Independent Barring Board established under section 1 of the Act to provide information relating to non-maintained special schools and independent schools in England to Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills (section 113(8) of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 (c. 40) abolished the office of Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Schools in England, but section 122 of that Act transferred the functions of that office to the office of Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills, established under that Act).
