The Minister for Equalities (Lynne Featherstone)
The new Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) will bring together the work of the Criminal Records Bureau and the Independent Safeguarding Authority, and represents an important element of the Government’s reforms to the disclosure and barring arrangements.
I am pleased to announce that the following senior appointments have been made to the DBS:
Chairman of the Disclosure and Barring Service: Bill Griffiths, formerly chair of the Forensic Science Service
Chief Executive: Adrienne Kelbie, currently deputy chief executive and corporate director of Business Support for Hull city council.
These appointments will take effect later this year.
