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. There is a presumption to disclosure.

Our tenant has a recent, but spent, conviction for possessing indecent images of children. Ourselves and the other housing association exchange reports on each of our tenants - how they conducted the tenancy, any arrears, size of family etc.

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.
