The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 established the DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) which processes criminal records checks and manages the Barred Children’s and Barred Adults’ Lists of unsuitable people who should not work in regulated activities with these groups. The DBS decides who is unsuitable to work or volunteer with vulnerable groups and it is illegal for a barred person to apply for such work (paid or voluntary), or for a charity to employ a barred person in such work. It is also a legal requirement for employers to refer someone to the DBS if they:

• dismissed them because they harmed a child or adult
• dismissed them because they might have harmed a child or adult otherwise
• were planning to dismiss them for either of these reasons, but the person resigned first
