CCPS has today submitted its response to the consultation on Scottish Statutory Instruments relating to the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act.
CCPS's response is primarily concerned with the fees regulations, explaining that providers will find it hard to meet the increased costs and questioning some of the financial assumptions made in the Regulatory Impact Assessment. The response also seeks clarification on the definition of a voluntary organisation used in the SSIs, and whether or not CCPS members would be covered by the definition. Issues around the existence of two lists (one for those unsuitable to work with children and one for those unsuitable to work with adults) are also raised.
The full response, along with previous submissions relating to the Protection of Vulnerable Groups, can be accessed by following the link on the right hand side of this page to the consultations section of our website.
