Why will applications to the VBS need to be phased in/how will the CRB and ISA cope with processing 11.3m applicants?
• This scheme will eventually affect some 11.3 million workers – and be the largest scheme of its kind in the world. To this end, we need to ensure that our key delivery partner, CRB, which will be administering applications to register with the ISA, as well as the ISA itself, are able to cope with the demand. • Realistically, there is no way either organisation or its systems would be able to cope with registering 11.3 million applicants all at once. Moreover, the CRB will continue to process CRB checks as usual on top of the work it will be doing for the ISA. • Equally, this five year window will allow the employers and registered bodies to manage their significant numbers of staff through the Scheme in a controlled way without their own systems being swamped. This is why we are proposing a five year phasing strategy.
