Proportionality
Proportionality
Since we are remitting (see below), we do not address proportionality. If the DBS’s new decision is to reinclude the appellant in the children’s barred list (having meanwhile removed her pursuant to section 4(7)(b)), the DBS will explain in that decision why that new decision is proportionate. The appellant will be entitled to seek permission to appeal against that new decision.
