WCVA’s Criminal Records Unit is proud to offer a unique opportunity for you to gain a close understanding of changes in safeguarding and CRB checks, due to be phased in from this September.

The Government plans to scale back criminal records and barring systems, while still maintaining effective safeguarding. Meanwhile, the Protection of Freedoms Act, which came into law in May, will bring about changes that will impact on all voluntary groups working with vulnerable people – not just those which require staff to take CRB checks.

It is vitally important for the sector to be up to date with their policies and procedures, and be able to comply with legislation, as these changes are taking place. 

WCVA’s Criminal Records Unit, with support from the Home Office, will be explaining the changes at the seminars, with plenty of opportunity for you to ask questions of your own.

There are two opportunities to attend the seminar on this day. The first session runs from 9.30am - 12pm and will be repeated from 1.00-3.30pm.

Price: £15 for WCVA members and £25 for non-members.
