The Home Office is working to support ACRO to resolve the issue and find a technical fix which will be implemented as soon as possible.

Last year the UK sent over 30,000 conviction notifications to EU Member States and received over 16,000 from the EU.

This has led to many hundreds of criminals being brought to justice and ACRO are working urgently to resolve any outstanding alerts.
