| Annotation | POVA Guide produced by an international law firm, as an insert into their newsletter, Healthcheck. It provides questions and answers to POVA checks and how to make references to the POVA list. The 'Protection of Vulnerable Adults' scheme starts in June 2004, when it will only be applicable to care workers in care homes and domiciliary care agencies, so accordingly, this document only considers these types of business. However, POVA when it comes fully into force will apply to many sectors of the health and social care industry. This document takes into account the Draft Guidance issued by the Department of Health (dated 11 December 2003) which is liable to change after consultation. As a result, this document cannot be a definitive guide to the law, but an update will be made available once POVA is fully enacted. (KJ/RH) |
