Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether security checks under the sponsorship scheme for British households opening their homes to Ukrainian refugees will involve (1) a full Disclosure and Barring Service criminal records check, or (2) a one-off check against the police national computer database.

I refer the noble Lord to the guidance for local authorities available online (attached) at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/homes-for-ukraine-guidance-for-councils
