7.—(1) This paragraph applies if immediately before 3 April 2017 a transferred person was subject to a barring order imposed by the CCW’s Restoration Committee(1).
(2) On or after 3 April 2017, the person’s right to make an application for restoration to the SCW register(2) is to be treated as suspended indefinitely by a direction made, on the same date as the barring order, by a registration appeals panel of SCW under section 98(4) of the Act (restoration proceedings)(3).
A barring order may be made by the Restoration Committee of CCW in accordance with the Care Council for Wales (Fitness to Practise) Rules 2014 in circumstances where a person has been removed from the register and has made a previous application for restoration to the CCW register which has been refused.
See section 97 of the Act (restoration following fitness to practise proceedings).
Section 98(4) of the Act provides a power for a registration appeals panel to direct that a person may not make any further applications for restoration to the SCW register. Section 97 makes provision which enables a person to apply for such a direction to be reviewed after a period of three years beginning on the date on which the direction is given.
