Care Standards Act 2000 Explanatory Notes

Section 88  Conditions for application under section 87

240.Section 88 gives conditions for application for removal from the list. It provides that such applications may only be made with leave of the tribunal. An individual may only apply after he has been permanently listed for at least ten years, and if unsuccessful, at ten yearly intervals after that. Anyone who was aged under 18 at the time of permanent listing can apply to have his name removed after five years (and at five yearly intervals after that). It will be for the Tribunal to determine whether an individual is now suitable to work with vulnerable adults.
