The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what demographic information is held about the subjects of DBS checks in England and Wales.
Answered by Jess Phillips
The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is operationally independent from the Home Office and as such the Home Office does not hold any demographic information about the subjects of DBS checks in England and Wales. The DBS itself only holds demographic information that is mandatory for the processing of disclosure checks and barring referrals.
