Employers, local authorities, professional regulators and other bodies have a duty to refer to the ISA, information about individuals working with children or vulnerable adults where they consider them to have caused harm or pose a risk of harm.

The Independent Safeguarding Authority has issued guidance for use when considering or making a referral. The ISA will receive referrals when:
•    there is harm or risk of harm to children or vulnerable adults, relevant conduct has occurred or
•    an individual has received a caution or conviction for a relevant offence.

This guidance introduces some important new terms such as Regulated Activity and Relevant Conduct.
