Children and vulnerable adults are to be better protected from today with the start of the new Vetting and Barring Scheme (VBS).
The new scheme will be delivered by the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA). Its tighter regulations are at the heart of the Government’s strategy for increasing the protection of vulnerable members of our society.
From 12 October 2009 the PoVAFirst service has been renamed the ISA Adult First Service.
The CRB has reduced the fee for Standard Disclosures.
