Dear Disclosure and Barring Service,
Please could you confirm, for the accounting year 2022/23

- how many of the male born, female identifying, applicants had prior convictions or cautions redacted
- how many of the male born applicants had no convictions or cautions to redact
- how many of the female born, male identifying, applicants had prior convictions or cautions redacted

Dear Disclosure and Barring Service,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Disclosure and Barring Service's handling of my FOI request 'DBS Sensitive Applications Team - number of records handled in 2022/23'.
My query specifically requested that the birth sex of DBS applicants be identified.
For the 282 Basic and 1004 Enhanced DBS certificates issued in the year,
please could you clarify how many were to those born male and how many to those born female
(information which would be a precursor to confirming that they were transgender)
Could you also confirm that there were 282 Basic check individuals and 1004 Enhanced check individuals
as an individual can have their certificate checked multiple times in a year.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/d...
Many thanks for your cooperation with this clarification request
Yours faithfully,
Eleanor S Greene
