Judicial Summary
The decision of the Upper Tribunal is to allow the appeal of the Appellant.
The decision of the Disclosure and Barring Service taken on 20 June 2022 to include the Appellant’s name on the Children’s Barred List was based upon material mistakes in findings of fact in relation to findings of relevant conduct. The decision of the DBS is therefore remitted for a new decision under section 4(6)(b) of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 based upon the findings we have made for the purposes of section 4(7)(a). The Appellant is to remain on the list pending the fresh decision being made pursuant to section 4(7)(b) of the Act.
