Section 17– Meaning of “disqualified from working with children”

These include individuals included in the list and in the equivalent list kept, in England and Wales, under section 1 of the Protection of Children Act 1999 (c.14). It also includes individuals who are, in England and Wales, subject to certain directions under section 142 of the Education Act 2002 (c.32) prohibiting him or her from teaching or to a disqualification order under Part II of the Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000 (c.43). Subsection (2) allows the Scottish Ministers to extend the definition to provide that individuals disqualified from working with children in other jurisdictions are prevented, by section 11, from working in a child care position in Scotland.
