Explanatory Memorandum to Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups (Northern Ireland) Order 2007 Explanatory Memorandum

Article 31: Prohibition of requirement to produce certain records

Article 31 makes it an offence for employers and others to require an individual (or a third party) to produce the information released to the individual under article 28 (4) when they apply to be monitored in connection with employment or as a condition for the provision of services.

An exception is made from this offence for parents and other private employers since they have a legitimate interest in the information and cannot receive it through other channels.
