Speakers:

Outline 

This half day session will provide a  practical guide to the huge impact on safeguarding best practice that the new legislation will have.  There will be clear explanation about the recommendations of Sunita Mason’s criminal record regime review, and the VBS reviews.  These are translated into the changes that the Protection of Freedoms Bill will legislate for, along with other policy adjustments following recent cases.  It will also demonstrate how the CRB are already tightening up their procedures relating to eligibility for disclosures and the sanctions that could start to be imposed.  In addition an understanding of how regulated activity is likely to be re-defined will help you  review your organisation’s safeguarding policies and plan the action steps you can take.  This briefing event will therefore help you understand the costs and impact on your organisation.  

Numbers of delegates are limited to ensure discussion and question time. 

Venue and Joining Instructions are only sent to those registered to attend
