The Home Office is pleased to announce the dates for the Vetting & Barring Scheme Information Roadshow Series, presented in association with the Department for Children, Schools and Families and the Department of Health.

The series will demonstrate how the Criminal Records Bureau and the Independent Safeguarding Authority will deliver the new scheme as laid down by the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006. 

The events will explain the scope of the scheme and its impact on employers, voluntary organisations and service users, and provide an opportunity for delegates to have their questions answered.

The events are free to attend and open to all interested parties; however, places are limited and must be booked in advance through the ISA website.
