Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007

253.The Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007 relates to the inclusion of individuals on a “children’s list” and an “adult’s list”. Section 19(3) of the 2007 Act names persons who may be required to provide information to the Scottish Ministers under section 19(1)(b) for the purpose of assisting Ministers in deciding whether to list an individual. “HM Inspectors of Schools” is named here, and section 97 of the 2007 Act provides a definition for that term, which is repeated in the index in schedule 5 of the 2007 Act. Paragraph 17 of schedule 4 of this Act updates these references by substituting them for the Chief Inspector.
