If you work or want to work with children or vulnerable adults from October 2009 you will need to apply to be registered with the ISA.
The Basics
You can apply for registration through your employer if you have one, or if you are applying for a job, through your perspective employer. If you are self-employed – as a childminder, for example – you will need to apply yourself.
Employees
If you are already employed to work with children or vulnerable adults and have had a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check, you will need to apply for ISA registration in due course. Details of how and when you should apply will become available on this site.
If you are employed to work with children or vulnerable adults and have not been CRB checked you will need to apply for ISA registration as early as possible. Details of how and when to do this will become available on this site.
Volunteers
If you work or want to work with vulnerable people you will need to apply to register with us in exactly the same way as an employee. The only difference is that there is no fee for applications from volunteers.
Unsuitable People
If you have a record of unsuitability for working with vulnerable groups or if you have committed certain offences, you may not be able to register. Instead you will be put on an ISA Barred List and may not be able to work with vulnerable people.
If you apply for a job with children or vulnerable adults when you know you have been barred you could be fined or face imprisonment.
Fees
We will charge a small fee for applications to register with the ISA as an employee or self-employed worker. This fee covers our administration costs and you will only be asked to pay it once, no matter how many times you change jobs.
We do not charge volunteers for ISA applications. |
