Employers will be required to ensure that any staff they have
working with children or vulnerable adults are checked by the ISA
and have gone through the registration process with the Criminal
Records Bureau (CRB). This will be via a registered or umbrella
body, the same system currently used for obtaining CRB Enhanced
Disclosures.
Once their worker is registered, the employer will receive a
certificate showing the person’s ISA status (plus any information
revealed during the CRB searches). Subsequent employers will be
able to check their ISA status online free of charge (unless they
are under a duty to apply for an Enhanced CRB check).
All ISA-registered individuals will be subject to continuous
monitoring. When new information, such as a conviction or caution
or a referral from an employer, becomes known about an individual
already registered with the ISA, the Authority will review its
original decision not to bar. Where an employer has already checked
on an employee’s status with the ISA, that employer will be
notified automatically if their employee’s status changes.
