Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006

Schedule 6 – Employment businesses: failure to check

87.This Schedule provides that an employment business will commit an offence if they fail to register an interest in an individual (see section 32) prior to supplying the individual to engage in regulated activity. Registering an interest will ensure that the employment business is informed if the individual ceases to be subject to monitoring. The Schedule also allows the Secretary of State to prescribe circumstances in which it will be an offence for such a business to supply an individual without having obtained an enhanced criminal record certificate in relation to that individual. Moreover, Paragraph 4 has the effect that employment businesses are placed under the requirements of this Schedule even if an individual will only be engaged in regulated activity infrequently, or on fewer that three days in a 30 day period.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
