Evaluating the Regulation of Care Provision
Unit 10 – D1
In this report I am going to be evaluating the regulation of care provision for looked after children. I am going to be talking about four and evaluating what the benefits and barriers are with each one. The four I am going to be discussing are CRB/DBS checks, OFSTED, General Teaching Council and the General Social Care Council. CRB/DBS Checks
CRB checks are checks that have to be carried out on anyone person who works with children or vulnerable adults in either a paid or voluntary position. CRB checks include police and criminal record checks, a background check, staff vetting, employee vetting, pre-employment vetting and tenant vetting. There are two different kinds of CRB check; there is a standard disclosure and also an enhanced disclosure. The standard disclosure is a check that displays current and also spent convictions, any cautions, reprimands and also warnings that have been held on the Police National Computer. If the job the individual is working in involves children or vulnerable adults then they will be search on the Protection of Children Act list, Protection of Vulnerable Adults list, and any information that is held under section 142 of the Education Act 2002. The enhanced disclosure is a higher check which is required for any individual who is going to be caring, training supervising or being in complete control of any children or vulnerable adults. They include all the same information as a standard disclosure does but they also include and relevant information which is held by the police. (employers-guide.org) The CRB check has now changed to the DSB check which stands for the Disclosure and Barring Service. This has been changed because the CRB and the ISA which is the independent safeguarding authority, have been brought together to make sure more people are safe and better checks can be made for people who are going to be dealing with vulnerable people, with a DBS check people who want to foster or adopt a child now have
