Protection: New disclosure and barring services: updated definition of "regulated activity" for adults The Department of Health has issued guidance on an updated definition of "regulated activity", for the purposes of regulation by the Independent Safeguarding Authority and, from December 2012, the Disclosure and Barring Service. This follows the amendment of the definition in the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 by the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, which takes effect from 10th September 2012. There will be more about the change in the September edition of Homecarer. www.info4local.gov.uk/documents/publications/2195763
