Judicial Summary
In this case the appeal was allowed because the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) (i) made a mistake of fact about SB failing to accurately report and record the incident which occurred on 10 August 2022, (ii) erred in law in failing to take into account all the relevant evidence about whether SB had shown insight and remorse for what had occurred on 10 August 2022, and (iii) it further erred in law by failing to take into account the character references SB had supplied to the DBS. The appeal was dismissed on all other grounds, including proportionality, and SB was to remain on both barred lists until the DBS makes a new decision.
