Business in the Community's Ban the Box campaign was formally launched across the Civil Service on 17 October 2016 and the Permanent Secretary for the Home Office has not agreed any exceptions to date.

The information on which roles may have requested this information in 2016 prior to this date is not held at Departmental level and a manual search of all records would incur a disproportionate cost.
