However, I can't imagine that everyone is simply in favour of this new scheme and would like to know if anyone is involved in getting it rectified or stopped?
I know there has been general opposition to it from within literature and music and personally know of several artists, now often working on educational projects, who will stop doing this if regisring on the datebase becomes a requirement.
I'd like to hear some views on this from within the sector - also if you know of any museum led opposition groups working to get the scheme stopped (I know the government already has been forced to re-think) but have no specific point for finding what the sector is thinking.
Thanks all,
Lilli

MLA Safeguarding Guidance Bulletin - ISA Vetting & Barring Scheme
Please see the following link to the MLA Safeguarding Guidance Bulletin about safeguarding and child protection, with key information about the Independent Safeguarding Authority’s new Vetting & Barring Scheme. http://www.mla.gov.uk/what/policy_development/learning/~/media/Files/pdf/2010/programmes/MLA_safeguarding_bulletin_03-10
The bulletin includes Frequently Asked Questions drawn up by Artswork during their delivery of 10 safeguarding seminars across England , and also complements the recent advice surgeries run by the NSPCC; both run on behalf of the MLA’s Strategic Commissioning Continuing Professional Development programme. http://www.mla.gov.uk/what/programmes/commissioning/CPD
This is the first of three six-monthly bulletins to be issued by the MLA as a supplement to our current MLA NSPCC Safeguarding Guidance document.
Further information about the new scheme can be found on the ISA website: http://www.isa-gov.org.uk/ or by ringing 0300 123 1111.
