It states:



"provider" means, in relation to a relevant service, a person—(a) who owns, controls or manages the service, or is otherwise responsible for the running of that service, and

(b) who, in respect of the provision of such relevant service—
(i) employs (whether under contract of employment or otherwise) one or more than one other person to undertake any work or activity that constitutes a relevant service.
I understand the Deputy's concern. When people are drawing up child safety statements, they will have to identify the risks and set out how they intend to deal with them. If we were to follow it down to a single individual, we would be talking about relatives, friends and everyone and I do not think it would be practicable.
