Is your Single Central Register compliant?

However, inaccuracies and missing data in the Single Central Register remains a key area of compliance concern resulting in poor regulatory inspection outcomes which are reflected in judgements on safeguarding leadership.

This webinar is developed to support colleagues who have operational and oversight responsibility for the single central record. It covers;

• Supporting guidance

• Retention of evidence
• Procedure for maintaining and checking the SCR
• What happens on the SCR if staff or volunteers are found to be unsuitable.

• Review of underpinning legislation and guidance
• How to develop a checklist of SCR requirements for compliance audit
• How to implement recommended procedures for maintaining and checking the SCR
• What to consider in reviewing the SCR if there is a change in suitability.
