Working with Vulnerable People (Background Checking) Act 2011

This section applies if the commissioner—

conducts a risk assessment or a revised risk assessment for a person; and

is satisfied that the person poses no risk or an acceptable risk of harm to a vulnerable person (a positive risk assessment).

The commissioner must—

register the person; and

tell the person, in writing—

of the positive risk assessment; and

that the person is registered; and

the person’s unique identifying number; and

if the registration is conditional under section 42A (Conditional registration—class A disqualifying offence or negative status under corresponding law)—

what the condition is; and

the reasons for the condition; and

the day the registration ends; and

anything else prescribed by regulation; and

if the registration is conditional under section 42A—tell the named employer (if any) in writing—

that the person’s registration is conditional; and

what the condition is.

For subsection (2) (c), the commissioner must not, without the person’s consent, tell the named employer the reasons for the condition.

Registration must be for not longer than 5 years.
