That is why in 2018 the Attorney General published his review, looking at the efficiency and effectiveness of the current disclosure system, including how sensitive data is handled. We are now working hard to implement the recommendations made in the review, and extensive action has already been undertaken to bring about necessary changes. The government remains committed to ensuring that errors in the disclosure process are driven down to their absolute minimum.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 22/07/2019 14:20:54 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

	uin	HL17904
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>In general, employment law (for example through the Employment Rights Act 1996) provides protection to ‘employees’ or ‘workers’. Many volunteers are not employees or workers, and so do not have the same legal status and protections as paid employees or workers. However, depending on the details of the volunteering arrangement, it is possible for volunteers to be workers in some cases. Some guidance on the definition of a worker is provided on the gov.uk website..</p><p> </p><p>The government has consulted on whether volunteers are adequately protected by the protections within the Equality Act 2010, and responses to that consultation are currently being considered.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is also working with charities and the charity regulator to encourage safe cultures within charities that protect volunteers.</p><p> </p><p>The gov.uk website explains what rights a volunteer may have.</p> answering member printed Lord Duncan of Springbank question first answered 08/10/2019 15:44:29 answering member 4686 label Biography information for Lord Duncan of Springbank
