[2025] UKUT 036 (AAC)

This decision is given under section 4 of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006

The appeal is allowed.

The decision of the DBS made on 12 May 2023 to retain the appellant on the Children’s and Adults’ Barred Lists involved mistakes on points of law and fact. Pursuant to section 4(6)(b) of Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 the Upper Tribunal remits the matter to the DBS for a new decision. The Upper Tribunal directs that the DBS shall not remove the Appellant’s name from the Children’s and Adults’ Barred List pending the making of the new decision.
