The Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) scheme, as set out in the Care Standards Act 2000, is implemented on a phased basis from 26 July 2004. At the heart of the scheme is the POVA list. Through referrals to, and checks against the list, care workers who have harmed a vulnerable adult, or placed a vulnerable adult at risk of harm, (whether or not in the course of their employment) will be banned from working in a care position with vulnerable adults. As a result, the POVA scheme will significantly enhance the level of protection for vulnerable adults. This guidance sets out what is required of providers of care, employment agencies and businesses and other stakeholders affected by implementation. It covers both England and Wales, and refers to the care of vulnerable adults aged 18 years or over.
