Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (2006 c 47)

The Act was established to protect children and vulnerable adults through a centralised system for vetting individuals working with these groups. It introduced the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA), which maintains a list of barred individuals who are unsuitable for such roles. The legislation mandates organisations to verify the status of employees and volunteers against this list and requires individuals to register before working in regulated activities. The aim is to prevent harm and reduce the risk of abuse by ensuring that unsuitable persons are barred from positions of trust and responsibility.
