BTC DBS/PVG/AccessNI Disclosures Policy V5.0 Page 6 of 16 Dec 2023 Disclosure and Barring Service PO Box 3963 Royal Wootton Bassett SN4 4HH It is important that anyone referring someone to DBS provides as much information as possible. More information regarding barring referrals can be found here. 1.3.6 Barring Representations Where an individual is the subject of any of the above three barring referral types (excluding ‘autobar without representation’), the individual will be given the opportunity to provide representations as to why they feel it would be inappropriate or disproportionate for the DBS to include them in one or both of the barred lists. The DBS will consider the representations before making a final barring decision. Further information about barring representations can be found here. 1.3.7 Test for Regulated Activity The DBS can only bar a person from working within regulated activity with children or adults if they believe the person is, has been, or might in the future be, engaged in regulated activity. The only exception to this is where a person is cautioned or convicted for a relevant (automatic barring) offence and is not eligible to submit representations against their inclusion on a barred list. Where a person is cautioned or convicted of a relevant (automatic barring) offence with the right to make representations, the DBS will ask the person to submit their representations and consider them before making a final barring decision. 1.4 DBS Certificate Reprints DBS can’t process a reprint request if: • the certificate has been accidentally lost or destroyed after you received it • the DBS certificate was issued more than 3 months ago (93 days). A new DBS check application will need to be submitted with the appropriate fee if a certificate is still needed • a reprint of the certificate has already been dispatched and the copy has not been received We can process your request if all of the following points apply: • your DBS certificate was issued over 14 days ago, but you haven’t received it. You can find out the date your certificate was issued on through online tracking • the reprint request has been made within 3 months (93 days) of the date of issue of your certificate • the address you request your certificate to be reprinted and sent to matches the address on your DBS application. If you have moved address since your application was submitted you will need to set up mail redirection before requesting a DBS certificate reprint. Go to the Royal Mail website for more information on how to do this. The address you gave us on your DBS application can’t be changed.
