SAFEGUARDING VULNERABLE GROUPS

This Order, made under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups (Northern Ireland) Order 2007 (“the 2007 Order”), makes provision relating to the functions of the Independent Barring Board (“IBB”) (which is established under section 1 of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006) during the “relevant period”. The relevant period is defined in Article 2 as the period starting on the day after the Order comes into operation and ending on the day that Article 7 of the 2007 Order comes into operation for all purposes. The beginning of that period marks the point from which IBB starts to replace the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety and the Department of Education as the bodies which decide who should be barred from working with children and/or vulnerable adults.
