Vetting and Barring Scheme - Application Process
The latest on the Vetting and Barring Scheme
The registration phase of the VBS was due to begin in July 2010, however the Coalition Government halted the registration phase whilst a review was conducted into the scheme. The information below reflects guidance available before the review was announced. It will be updated once the outcomes of the review are released.
From July 28th 2010 new entrants into the children's workforce can start to register with the Independent Safeguarding Authority and from November 2010 they will have to do so before they can start to work with children or young people.
To register in England and Wales, applications must be made through the CRB. The CRB have created an application e-guide (click here to visit the CRB application e-guide) which gives more information about the application process.
The VBS application process document attached shows the application process. Further information can be found in the Vetting and Barring Scheme Guidance March 2010.
