The client, a banker and trustee of a youth club, sought legal advice regarding the potential contents of an enhanced DBS certificate required for their role. The client expressed concern about historical incidents from their youth and requested guidance on whether these might appear in the certificate and how they could be challenged. Counsel, Mr. Samuel Okoronkwo, was instructed to advise on the feasibility of record deletion and the process for obtaining relevant disclosures.
The client wished to understand what information may be disclosed in an enhanced DBS check and whether their employer would have access to sensitive material. They also queried the process and timing for submitting data subject access requests to the Police National Computer and local police stations, and whether certain records could be removed given the circumstances.
Counsel advised the client to submit data subject access requests to both DBS and Romford Police, ensuring that any overlap with ACRO records was clarified beforehand. Counsel reviewed the initial correspondence and noted it contained a comprehensive record of police encounters. The client was advised to compile a list of specific incidents for further discussion. As the initial consultation was cut short due to work commitments, arrangements were made to complete the remaining time once the client was ready to proceed. Counsel remains available to advise further upon receipt of the relevant documentation.
