Your Request:

Please may I have a redacted copy (i.e. one which does not contain names, addressed or other information likely to lead to a person on the register being identified) of the latest copy of your Potentially Violent Persons Register aka Restricted Persons Register aka Cautionary Register aka whatever relevant name you know such a register by?

Our Response:

Please see the attached guidance document, which outlines the purpose and reasons individuals would be placed onto the CBCR (Check Before Contact Register).

The register is a live system so the information contained within it, changes on a weekly basis.

Wandsworth Council is unable to provide the data, as it is mainly names and addresses and personal identifiable information and is therefore, considered to be exempt from disclosure under Section 40 (2)(b) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, as releasing personal information relating to other individuals would breach the Data Protection principles. Please note that this is an absolute exemption under the Freedom of Information Act and therefore the public interest test does not apply.

If you are dissatisfied with the information provided in relation to your request, you may make representations to the Information and Transparency Manager. Any such request for an internal review should be made within 40 days from today's date. Correspondence should be addressed to: FOIW@richmondandwandsworth.gov.uk

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision at: https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us/
