The Protection of Children and Vulnerable Adults (Definitions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005
The Protection of Children and Vulnerable Adults (Northern Ireland) Order 2003, requires the Department to keep lists of persons considered unsuitable to work with children or vulnerable adults. These lists will be known as the Disqualification from Working with Children List and the Disqualification from Working with Vulnerable Adults List. These Regulations require childcare organisations and providers of care to vulnerable adults to refer individuals to the Department for inclusion in one or both Lists. These Regulations prohibit child care organisations from offering employment in a child care position to any individual who is included in the Disqualification from Working with Children List or the Department of Education’s Disqualification from Working with Children List.
