Judicial Summary

SAFEGUARDING VULNERABLE GROUPS (65)

The appellant was included by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) on the children바카라 사이트s barred list pursuant to paragraph 3 of Schedule 3 to the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (SVGA 2006) because he had 바카라 사이트attempted to pay for, downloaded and viewed indecent images of children바카라 사이트. Since the decision, the appellant had been convicted of an offence of possession of indecent images of children so that his case would, if it had been considered by DBS at that stage, have fallen under the 바카라 사이트auto-barring with representations바카라 사이트 provisions in paragraph 2 of Schedule 3. The Upper Tribunal decided that the conviction made no difference to the basis of the appeal which remained against DBS바카라 사이트s original decision. The Upper Tribunal decided that there were minor errors of fact in DBS바카라 사이트s decision largely as a result of failure properly to take into account the implications of the appellant바카라 사이트s diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. However, the errors were not material. The Upper Tribunal decided there were no mistakes of fact or law in the decision and the appeal was dismissed.
