The Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007 (Corresponding Disqualifications) Order 2010
This Order is made under section 98(1)(b) of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007 (“the 2007 Act”). Its purpose is to make transitory provisions to give full effect to the provisions in section 92 of the 2007 Act to ensure that certain disqualifications in England and Wales and Northern Ireland mean that a person is also barred from doing regulated work with children and adults in Scotland. Section 92 already makes some provision for the recognition of equivalent disqualifications in other jurisdictions, but it only makes specific references to disqualifications under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (c.47) (“the 2006 Act”) and the Protection of Children and Vulnerable Adults (Northern Ireland) Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/417) (“the 2003 Order”).
