DrugScope and the London Drug and Alcohol Network (LDAN) has produced a FAQ document for the drug and alcohol sector on the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA), by posing questions from our members to Adrian Harding, Operational Head of the ISA. The Independent Safeguarding Authority was set up in January 2009 to strengthen the protection of children and vulnerable adults. The ISA will require all relevant employers to register their staff and volunteers for ISA approval. They will have the authority to put those they find unsuitable on a ‘barred list’ and prevent them from working with vulnerable groups. The FAQ document outlines the implications of the new Vetting and Barring Scheme for both employers and service users. It includes information such as which roles within the sector will need to register with the ISA, and which drug related offences are most likely to lead to a barring decision
