The Child Sex Offender (CSO) Disclosure Scheme gives MOPs the ability to obtain information from the local police force relating to a named individual who has a conviction for child sex offences, if they are considered a risk.

I'm not convinced that we can from a DPA point of view as we do not have any consent to disclose - unless we could use the Sched 3 condition of "information made public" as it was in the paper when he was convicted in 2015 - and as it is a spent conviction I'm not sure that it would be "fair" processing. > > Anyone any experience of this sort of disclosure, would there be any other things to consider? > > Any help you can give me would be most useful, thanks. > > Kind Regards > > Kate > > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > All archives of messages are stored permanently and are > available to the world wide web community at large at > http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/data-protection.html > If you wish to leave this list please send the command > leave data-protection to [log in to unmask] > All user commands can be found at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/subscribers/subscribercommands.html > Any queries about sending or receiving messages please send to the list owner > [log in to unmask] > Full help Desk - please email [log in to unmask] describing your needs > To receive these emails in HTML format send the command: > SET data-protection HTML to [log in to unmask] > (all commands go to [log in to unmask] not the list please) > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All archives of messages are stored permanently and are available to the world wide web community at large at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/data-protection.html If you wish to leave this list please send the command leave data-protection to [log in to unmask] All user commands can be found at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/subscribers/subscribercommands.html Any queries about sending or receiving messages please send to the list owner [log in to unmask] Full help Desk - please email [log in to unmask] describing your needs To receive these emails in HTML format send the command: SET data-protection HTML to [log in to unmask] (all commands go to [log in to unmask] not the list please) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
