EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the definition of ‘a chief officer of police’ in section 50A(3) of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (c. 47) so that the Disclosure and Barring Service may provide barred list information to non-territorial police forces and other relevant authorities.

Article 2 updates the list in section 50A(3) and adds non-territorial police forces in the UK and the police forces in the Crown Dependencies, providing the Disclosure and Barring Service with the legal power to share its barred list information with these forces to ensure that they have access to information which indicates that someone is considered to pose a risk to certain vulnerable groups.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
