answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>It is the responsibility and statutory duty of an employer to check that an individual has been cleared to work in direct contact with children or vulnerable adults. The Westway Assistance Centre has now closed, with many of the services transferred to the Community Assistance Centre at Bard Road. Disclosure and Barring checks are unlikely to apply to the majority of those working at the Community Assistance Centre. However, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Council, as part of its volunteer strategy and future plans for the Community Assistance Centre, is encouraging all staff and volunteers to sign up to a voluntary code of conduct including Disclosure and Barring, and suitability, checks.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 12/09/2017 14:45:49 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
