EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
These Regulations are made under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups (Northern Ireland) Order 2007 (N.I.11) (“the 2007 Order”).
Regulation 3 provides that support, assistance or advice provided to an individual by any person, the purpose of which is to develop that individual’s capacity to live independently or to sustain their ability to do so, is a welfare service for the purpose of Article 3(1)(g) of the 2007 Order. The effect of this regulation is to bring the recipients of this type of welfare service within the definition of “vulnerable adult” in Article 3 of the 2007 Order.
Regulation 4 prescribes the circumstances in which driving a vehicle, which is being used only for the purpose of conveying children and any person supervising or caring for the children, will be a regulated activity.
Regulation 5 makes similar provision in respect of vulnerable adults.
Regulation 6 amends the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups (Prescribed Criteria and Miscellaneous Provisions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 to rectify two omissions from the criteria for automatic barring under the Scheme.
