The vetting scheme for nine million people working with children and vulnerable adults in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is to be halted. Home Secretary Theresa May is to announce that registration, due to begin next month, is to be put on hold. There will be a review of the entire vetting and barring scheme, with a "scaling back" likely to follow.
