Q and A

Will ISA registration still be introduced?

It is not yet clear how the Government's remodelling of the Vetting and Barring Scheme will impact the future of ISA registration. Once more information about the outcome of the remodelling is available, Medilink Nursing will communicate this to you.

When can I start submitting applications on the new form?

CRB will accept applications on the new form from 28th June 2010. Those applications made on the new form will be held unprocessed until 26th July 2010 at which point they will be processed in date received order

Can I still use the ISA Adult First service?

The ISA Adult First service will continue to be available. Once Medilink Nursing know the full scope of the Government's work to remodel the VBS, we will provide a further update on the availability of the service.

Are there any changes to the way I complete the new application form?

Yes, as a result of ISA registration being halted, the following changes to completing the new application form should be noted:

Section A,Question 28 - 'Do you have an ISA registration no' will not be a mandatory field and can be ommited

Section D, - 'apply for registration with ISA' can be omitted - you should not complete this section until further notice.

Section X, Question 61 - 'Position applied for' - only the first 30 characters of this field will be recognised as with the current form therefore it is key that you complete this section as you would for the current form to capture things such as 'Home Based' positions within those first 30 characters.
