Schedule 2
Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [Lords]
4:00 pm
Sarah Teather (Shadow Secretary of State for Education and Skills, Education & Skills; Brent East, Liberal Democrat)
Before the Minister leaves the topic, may I pick up on the issue of the possibility of administrative error, which I raised with him this morning? He will recall that a few months ago there was big scandal in the media about the Criminal Records Bureau mixing up people’s identity and mistakenly identifying individuals as having convictions. Does he concede that something similar could happen under the Bill? As there is no appeal process, what processes are being put in place to make sure that if someone’s identity is mistaken, the problem can be corrected?
