Care Standards Act 2000 Explanatory Notes

Section 92  Persons referred for inclusion in list under Protection of Children Act 1999

245.This section deals with cross-referrals between this list and the list established under section 1 of PoCA, which lists individuals considered unsuitable to work with children. Where a person is referred under PoCA but it appears from the alleged misconduct that they may be unsuitable to work with vulnerable adults, it provides a mechanism for considering inclusion on the PoVA list. Subsection (3) provides, however, that a person can only be provisionally included in, or have his inclusion confirmed in, the PoVA list, if he is also included in the PoCA list.
