Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the official statistics entitled DBS checks: police performance summary, published on 28 April 2021, when she plans to update the data on average turnaround times for DBS checks at police forces; and for what reasons data on average turnaround times has not been updated since April 2021.
Answered by Sarah Dines
There is no intention for DBS to update the ‘DBS checks: police force summary’ data on its website.
For the 2021/22 reporting year and onwards DBS decided to focus on the data items it publishes every quarter relating to its legacy measures, internal targets and product volumes, including data about the average turnaround times for police forces. Data published by DBS is focused on its own key service standards and is accompanied by a narrative that explains DBS’ performance and the average turnaround times for all levels of DBS checks. This includes performance for Enhanced checks, for which police forces may be required to undertake checks of their local records.
