Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Astor of Hever (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 25 November 2009.

Independent Safeguarding Authority

Question: What training is given to the ISA employees who have to decide who should be placed on the barred list?

Answer: My Lords, I know I have this information somewhere at my fingertips but I cannot find it at the moment. By narrowing this function down to the ISA, compared with the old system we will have fewer people, it will be easier to do the training and the costs will be slightly less. However, there will be one focus and it will pull in evidence from all the various departments. Perhaps I may get back in writing on the specifics of the specialist training.
