Online checking with the ISA

A free online service will allow employers to check an individuals monitoring status for a particular workforce.

Employers can register their interest or ‘subscribe to' one or many individuals monitoring status and receive updates if that status changes.

Those who have registered an interest in an individual will be notified if an individual has become ‘not monitored' for any reason.

If an individual is not monitored by the ISA it could mean:

  • they have not registered with the scheme
  • they have voluntarily withdrawn from the scheme
  • they are barred

It will be illegal to employ or to continue to employ anyone that is not monitored by the ISA.

 

How this works

Interested parties can log on to check an individuals status. They will need to provide the following information:

  • ISA registration number of individual they wish to check.
  • The individual's data of birth
  • Register that they have a legitimate interest with the individual (organisations can register their details with the ISA)
  • Whether they have consent to make the check
  • Whether the indivdual is being checked for a paid or voluntary role

 

Monitoring Status Check Result

Example:

ISA registration number
12345678910111213

Smith, Amy
Date of Birth  28.06.1981

This will show either

Monitored - this means the indivual is registered with the ISA and not barred. They are allowed to take up employment (paid or voluntary) with children.

Unable to confirm monitoring - this means the individual is either barred, has not applied to the scheme or has voluntarily withdrawn from the scheme. It will be illegal to employ (in a paid or voluntary position) anyone that is not registered with the scheme.
