CAS News - Changeover timeline for move to CRB/VBS application forms

CAS has published its timeline for changeover to the new CRB/ISA application form under the new Vetting and Barring Scheme. This follows the CRB’s changeover timelines that will lead up to the implementation of the VBS registration process on 26 July 2010. The CAS timeline below provides deadlines which CAS members must adhere to in order to switch over to the new combined CRB/ISA registration forms effectively. We will begin sending out the new forms to members as from 31st May 2010 and will stop accepting the old forms as from 30 June 2010. This will ensure that we have sufficient time to process applications in both formats before the new VBS registration process starts on 26 July 2010. Please contact our helpline on 0207 467 5216 if you have any queries.
