Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [HL]

I object to Clauses 11 and 12 standing part of the Bill. I shall take the two together. My concerns on Clause 10 relate also to Clauses 11 and 12. However, given that the offence requires only a failure to make a check or a failure to obtain information in time and no knowledge or suspicion on the part of the person making it, I do not believe it really can be justified, even with amendments. These offences will be committed by people not carrying out their employment obligations. They would be much more suitable for civil law sanctions and should not really be in the domain of criminal law at all. That I why I feel that Clauses 11 and 12 are excessive. I wonder what the Minister can say to alleviate those concerns.
