The Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (Prescribed Criteria) (Foreign Offences) Order 2008
This Order is made under section 64 of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (“the Act”). It amends paragraph 24 of Schedule 3 to the Act by conferring a power on the Secretary of State to prescribe foreign offences for the purposes of paragraphs 1, 2, 7 and 8 of that Schedule. These provisions refer to the criteria that may be prescribed by the Secretary of State which lead to the automatic inclusion of a person in the children’s barred list or the adults’ barred list.
