[2024] UKUT 286 (AAC)

The Appellant gave evidence in chief in response to questions from the Tribunal and was cross examined by Mr Reichhold in relation to all of her evidence. He suggested that both of the findings of relevant conduct did not contain mistakes of fact and there was no mistake of fact in any of the matter relied upon in the DBS barring decision. He put the relevant pieces of documentary evidence to the Appellant and suggested her account was neither reliable nor truthful. The Appellant denied the allegations of relevant conduct in material respects - to the extent that they were based on all material facts found in the Final Decision Letter.

Again, we make findings of fact in relation to this evidence and give our reasons in the discussion section below. In summary, we have come to the conclusion and find that the Appellant’s oral evidence was substantially reliable and credible for the reasons we give within the discussion section below.
