These Regulations amend the Police Act 1997 (Criminal Records) (Disclosure) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2008 (“the 2008 Regulations”) to give effect to the changes affecting regulated and controlled activity concerning children and vulnerable adults under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups (Northern Ireland) Order 2007 which were made by the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (“the 2012 Act”). The 2012 Act has reduced the scope of the definition of regulated activity and has abolished the concept of controlled activity.
