The statutory framework
The statutory framework
The DBS was established by the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, taking on the functions of the Criminal Records Bureau and the Independent Safeguarding Authority. One of its main functions is the maintenance of the children’s barred list and the adults’ barred list (the “Barred Lists”, and each a “Barred List”). Its power and duty to do so arises under the SVGA.
