CD v Disclosure and Barring Service (Safeguarding vulnerable groups) [2020] UKUT 219 (AAC) (8 July 2020)
Although there are areas of overlap between the remit of the Disclosure and Barring Service and that of the Probation Service, it is primarily for the individual to obtain and supply to DBS the evidence which he wishes to have considered. In circumstances where the individual had not supplied it, nor indicated that he wished to provide it but had been unable to obtain it, the DBS was not in error of law for failing on its own initiative to obtain a report from the Probation Service as to the level of risk the latter considered the individual to represent.
