Origin of information on a DBS certificate

J Turner made this Freedom of Information request to Disclosure and Barring Service Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.

The request was successful.

Dear Sir,
1. Information on page 2 of a recent DBS basic certificate states:
"The information contained in this certificate is derived from police records, held on the Police National Computer (PNC) that contains details of Convictions, Cautions, Reprimands and Warnings in England and Wales and relevant convictions in Scotland and Northern Ireland may also be included."
2. Please clarify whether in England and Wales a DBS certificate may contain information derived from sources other than the PNC.
Yours faithfully,
J Turner
