Judicial Summary

Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 - section 4(2)(a) – the appellant was included in the adults’ barred list – he had worked in regulated activity in 2012 for a short period to fill in the time between college and obtaining employment in his chosen career – he had never worked with vulnerable adults since and had no wish or intention to do so – the Upper Tribunal decided that the test for regulated activity was satisfied, but that it was disproportionate to include him in the barred list.
