I am satisfied that the organisations registered have been properly registered by the vetting bureau. I cannot predict whether some organisation may do something incorrectly in the future or if it will fall outside the ambit of the legislation. For example, an organisation could be registered and cease to be engaged in dealing with issues relating to children or vulnerable adults. Organisations may evolve or change what they do. Following the advice I have been given, I am satisfied that this is the correct way to deal with the issue. We are doing what we can to ensure the transition from a non-statutory to a statutory agency can be reasonably achieved and we can deal with the extra demand that will be placed on the bureau.
