Safeguarding: How does ‘regulated activity’ work?

• Anyone providing a regulated activity must be registered with the ISA.
• It will be a criminal offence, punishable by up to five years in prison, for a barred individual to take part in a regulated activity for any length of time.
• It will be a criminal offence for an employer to take on an individual in regulated activity if they fail to check that person’s status.
• It will be a criminal offence for an employer to allow a barred individual, or an individual who is not yet registered with the ISA, to work for any length of time in any regulated activity.
