To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the average waiting time for completion of disclosure and barring service checks in the (1) standard, (2) enhanced, and (3) enhanced with list checks, categories.[HL6797]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the average waiting time for completion of disclosure and barring service checks in the (1) standard, (2) enhanced, and (3) enhanced with list checks, categories.[HL6797]
For the financial year 2013-14 the average turnaround times were as follows:
All enhanced disclosures: 11.9 days (3,715,222 disclosures)
All standard disclosures: 4.8 days (233,511 disclosures)
Enhanced disclosures are broken into:
Enhanced disclosures with list checks: 12 days (3,554,721 disclosures)
Enhanced disclosures with no list checks: 10.9 days (160,501 disclosures).
To ask Her Majesty’s Government which disclosure and barring service checks are required in order for immigrant workers to be employed in the care sector.[HL6628]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government which disclosure and barring service checks are required in order for immigrant workers to be employed in the care sector.[HL6628]
The Disclosure and Barring Service undertakes checks based on the nature of the work to be undertaken. Eligibility for checks is not linked to the nationality or immigration status of the applicant. Therefore immigrant workers are treated in the same way as other workers who wish to work in the care sector. However intelligence from police sources will sometimes indicate information about crimes in other countries; this applies equally to immigrant workers as for British nationals. Checks are undertaken on all people whose work falls into the category of ‘regulated work’.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what background checks are regularly made on appointees to quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what background checks are regularly made on appointees to quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations.
As was the case under the previous Administration, the Government expects all holders of public office to work to the highest personal and professional standards. As set out in the Code of Conduct for Board Members of Public Bodies, public appointees are expected to uphold the standards of conduct set out in the Committee on Standards in Public Life’s Seven Principles of Public Life.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what proportion of local authorities in England and Wales require a Disclosure and Barring Service check on applicants before issuing a (a) taxi and (b) private hire vehicle licence.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what proportion of local authorities in England and Wales require a Disclosure and Barring Service check on applicants before issuing a (a) taxi and (b) private hire vehicle licence.
The Department for Transport does not hold this information. Local authorities are under a statutory duty to ensure that any person to whom they grant a taxi or private hire vehicle driver’s licence is a “fit and proper person”. As part of this process they can undertake criminal record checks on applicants but we do not keep details of the assessment policies and procedures adopted by local authorities.

My Lords, 100 years ago, the great American, Justice Louis Brandeis, said that electric light is the best policeman. The merits of transparency have long been recognised, and so too has it long been recognised that whistleblowing—making a disclosure in the public interest—is crucial to the promotion of transparency in...

My Lords, I should declare an interest in that 20 years ago I set up the charity, Public Concern at Work. I think it took me five or six years to persuade the Charity Commission that it should be given charitable status, but we got there in the end and...

My Lords, I, too, congratulate my noble friend Lord Wills on initiating this debate. Contributing at the end, I find that the waterfront has been covered so well that I am almost tempted to say “ditto”. However, given my position as Front Bench spokesperson, I probably need to say a...

I am terribly sorry. I should not mislead your Lordships. I was only the mere lawyer who set the thing up; I was not the impetus for it.
