This Order, made under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups (Northern Ireland) Order 2007 (“the Order”), amends the definition of regulated activity in Schedule 2 to the Order and the Regulations which prescribe the criteria on the basis of which a person will be included automatically in the barred lists maintained under Article 6 of the Order. It also brings into force amendments to, and the repeal of, provisions in the Police Act 1997 (c. 50) (“the Police Act”) relating to enhanced criminal record certificates and makes transitional provision relating to the issuing of such certificates and to the provision of information by and to the Independent Barring Board (“IBB”) (which is established under section 1 of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006).
