As part of an Enhanced CRB check checks are made against 2 lists of people who are barred from working with children and vulnerable adults. These are the ISA Adults barred list and the ISA children's barred list, which are administered by the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA).
It is a criminal offence for individuals barred by the ISA to work or apply to work with children or vulnerable adults in a wide range of posts including most NHS jobs, Prison Service, education and childcare. Employers also face criminal sanctions for knowingly employing a barred individual.
Employers, social services and professional regulators have a duty to refer information about individuals who may pose a risk to children and vulnerable adults to the ISA. This will ensure that any potential threats to vulnerable groups can be identified and dealt with effectively.
