M1The requirement for persons undertaking regulated activity in child care settings to register with the ISA under the Vetting and Barring Scheme is being introduced incrementally in accordance with Regulations made under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (c. 47). In this respect the term “where appropriate” is to be interpreted in accordance with a person's requirement to register with the ISA explained in the Vetting and Barring Scheme Guidance issued by the Home Office in March 2010 (ISBN - 978 - 1 - 84987 - 2020 7).
