Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in this country. For a small cost I could buy a new identity (with the correct contacts). Someone could with the right documents buy a clean identity and walk a horse and cart through the system (the banks lose millions from it and they are more organised than government agencies). The worrying thing is as they had some clearance that nagging doubt called instinct might just be bypassed.
Stop rehousing them in our communities as rehabilitated!!!!!!
I mean they don't even know who's coming in and out of the country at flipping border control.

Noted.
Edit - sorry if my response seems rather curt there, its just my usual professional protocol when a point is agreed - it is short for "that point is noted and agreed". Read it back and could be taken out of context.

Just to let you know that I've bounced an email off to the appropriate body and had an automated reply saying I will receive a response within 5 working days.
I'll report back here when I've received the response.

Well, the ISA have been exceptionally efficient and speedy with their response, and it's good news (only required if you visit the same specified place frequently:-
Thank you for your recent email.
Registration will only be required if you visit the same specified place on a frequent or intensive basis.
Specified places are - schools, adult care homes, children's care home, children's detention centre, childcare premises including nurseries, children's hospitals, children's centres.
Frequent - once a week or more
Intensive - 4 days in 1 month.
If this is not the case registration will not be required.

I would also say there is a difference if a DJ is a children's entertainer or not.
One who is an entertainment is going to have closer contact with the children, as is the very nature of their job, than a DJ who just stands behind a console ....errrr DJing.
I know of a local children's balloon modeler(sp?) who is CRB'd through an umbrella company (sorry don't know any more than that) so I would expect someone who DJ's as part of their children's entertainment act to fall in the same category.
Does that make sense???

I'm confused now....
Does the fact that we don't need the new licence also mean we don't have to be Police checked now.....legally??

It's my understanding that DJs in general don't need to be CRB checked.
I could be wrong, though!

ISA is replacing CRB.
There was no legal requirement for you to have CRB, and, unless you fall into the above criteria I've quoted, there will be no obligation on you to be ISA registered

ISA is NOT replacing CRB
ISA is intended to give a quick overview of prospective harm. Unlike CRB it does not provide detailed background infomation to the employer to ascertain previous convictions.
ISA is a a prior to full CRB, so to speak.
To go into a bit more depth, everyone who applies via the ISA will complete an application form. The ISA will forward the form to the CRB, who will then release that relevent info back to the ISA. It is ISA who will then make the informed choice whether to allow the applicant to work with children.
This vetting and descision making is called the VBS, vetting and barring scheme.
This is my area of expertise in my day job, and as i get more info ill keep you all updated.
