The government yesterday announced that it was halting the proposed start of registrations to the new Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) that were due to begin in July.
The ISA would eventually have registered a database of over 9 million people which would have formed the basis of a live register for alerting employers or organisations to suspicions or criminal activity of those people held.
The scheme was going to charge people to register, charge employers to check and still require CRBs to be carried out - another cost directly to care workers in the adult, child and education sectors - not high paying fields in the first place.
The new government is now reviewing the laws and duplications of services - fingers crossed we get some common sense!
