If:
- the allegation is substantiated and the person is dismissed, or
- the employer ceases to use the person’s services, or
- the person resigns or otherwise ceases to work
- the LADO should discuss with the employer whether a referral should be made to the Independent Safeguarding Authority ISA and/or a regulatory body e.g the General Teaching Council or General Medical Council.
Consideration will then be given as to whether the person should be barred from working with children, or have conditions imposed in respect of their work. If referral is made, it should be submitted within 1 month of the conclusion of the dismissal or other conclusion.
N.B. New vetting and barring arrangements will be implemented under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 from Autumn 2008. These procedures will be updated to reflect the new arrangements.
