Vetting: Dulwich and West Norwood

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has a target for when the time taken to process Disclosure and Barring Service applications for residents of Dulwich and West Norwood constituency will routinely be completed within 60 days or less.

Answer

In the last 12 months (April 2015 – May 2016), 85% of applications from people living in Dulwich and West Norwood constituency were completed within 60 days.

The Disclosure and Barring Service is reliant on police forces completing their checks in a timely manner and is working closely with those forces whose performance does not meet turnaround time targets.
