The Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (Transitory Provisions) Order 2009
This Order, made under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (“the Act”), makes provision relating to the functions of the Independent Barring Board (“IBB”) (which is established under section 1 of the Act) during the “relevant period”. The relevant period is defined in article 1 as the period starting on the day after the Order is made and ending on the day that section 3 of the Act comes into force for all purposes. The beginning of that period marks the point from which IBB starts to replace the Secretary of State as the body which decides who should be barred from working with children and/or vulnerable adults.
