The Upper Tribunal refused to strike out an appeal, holding that the DBS’s notified decision letter conveyed a substantive review outcome and therefore engaged jurisdiction.
The public interest in protecting children and vulnerable adults, and the statutory role of the DBS, outweigh the Article 8 rights of the respondents. The court will not restrain disclosure of the fact-finding judgment to the DBS, as the interference with the respondents' rights is necessary and proportionate. The DBS is the proper body to assess risk, and the findings made are sufficiently grave to warrant disclosure.
