Dear Mr Maskell

 

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST

 

Further to your request under the Freedom Of Information Act 2000 (FOIA)
for information relating to the Disclosure and Barring Service I respond
as follows.

 

Under the FOIA any person making a request for information is entitled to
receive confirmation as to whether such information exists and is held by
the Council, and is entitled to have that information communicated to them
except where the requested information falls under one of the relevant
exemptions. In such a case the information is deemed to be exempt from the
Council’s duty to disclose it.

 

Following the Council’s assessment of the information and the relevant
exemptions, the Council also has a duty to determine whether the release
of the information is in the public interest, despite the exemption
applied to it.

 

All FOIA requests are therefore dealt with on a threefold analysis.

 

1) Whether the Authority can identify the information requested

2) Whether there is an exemption within the FOIA which prevents the
information from being released

3) Whether, despite the exemption, it is in the public interest to
release the information requested.

 

Taking this analysis into account I now deal with your request for
information.

 

You have requested information relating to the Disclosure and Barring
Service and taking the above threefold test into account the Authority can
confirm that it holds the information you have requested. In applying the
second test, the Authority concedes that there is no relevant exemption to
this request and as such have enclosed the information requested, please
see below. As there is no relevant exemption, there is no need to apply
the third stage public interest assessment.

 

You requested the following information:

 

1.     Who is your lead officer for DBS checking?

2.     How many DBS checks do you carry out each year, broken down by type
eg. Standard, Basic or Enhanced?

3.     Are you a registered body at the DBS that umbrellas other
organisations?

4.     Are you currently doing your DBS checks online and if so, what
system do you use?

5.     Have you a contract currently with a DBS eBulk provider and if so
when does the contract come to an end?

 

The response is as follows:

 

1.     Mike Murphy

2.     Standard -15. Basic- 0. Enhanced – 121

3.     Yes

4.     No

5.     No

 

I hope the information supplied is to your satisfaction however, if it is
not please feel free to contact me on the number below should you have any
queries in relation to this response. Please note that in responding to
further enquiries I can only comment on the information contained within
this correspondence and cannot provide any further information that may
pertain to an additional FOIA request.

 

Yours sincerely,
