Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment he has made of whether the tool to redact sensitive case information used by the Disclosure and Barring Service is fit for purpose.
DBS uses a tool to redact sensitive documents which was selected by its technology service provider, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). DBS has reported some issues with the redaction functionality. These issues have been raised with TCS, and a new software release is currently in test for deployment.
