Ms Fiona Larthwell:
Our understanding is that, in most services, vetting is already taking place because that is what service providers do. They know the cohort they are dealing with. They know those people are vulnerable and they want to ensure they are safe. However, the regulations will specify requirements in respect of vetting, and those will apply to all services.
