Suspension of registration if working with children check not current etc
43 Suspension of registration if working with children check not current etc
The Board may, if satisfied that a working with children check has not been conducted in relation to a registered social worker within the preceding 5 years suspend (without any requirement for a hearing or other process) the registration of the social worker.
A suspension under this section has effect—
until the fulfilment of specified conditions or until further order of the Board; or
if the social worker's registration is cancelled under section 46(5)—until that cancellation has effect, whichever occurs first.
To avoid doubt, a suspension of a social worker's registration under this section has effect whether or not an appeal has, or is to be, instituted against the decision to suspend the registration of the social worker.
