These Regulations set out the information which the Chief Inspector may ask a person applying for registration as a child minder or provider of day care to consent to the disclosure of. (Regulation 4) The Regulations also provide that failure to consent to the disclosure of this information or withdrawal of such consent entitles the Chief Inspector to regard the person as not suitable to look after children under the age of eight or to be in regular contact with such children. (Regulation 3) Where the term ‘A’ is used in the regulations, this refers to the person defined as ‘A’ in section 79B(5A) of the Act.
