The Government expects to implement the changes to the disclosure rules before the end of the year, following Parliament’s approval of the legislation and the necessary operational changes within the Disclosure and Barring Service.

We remain committed to implement these changes to balance the rights of the individual to move on with their lives and move away from their past offending whilst continuing to continuing to support effective protection for children and vulnerable adults.
