I should emphasise that the threshold for disclosure in relation to enhanced DBS checks, which was the particular concern that my noble friend raised, is exceptionally high. We know that fewer than 1% of DBS certificates currently include non-conviction data at all. In the review, we have so far been entirely unable to discover any incidence of a non-crime hate incident being disclosed for the purpose of an enhanced DBS check. So, although there is a suggested risk, it does not appear that it is a substantive risk, because of the bar being so high.
