Following investigation, if you decide to let the person return to a position working in regulated activity with children or adults then there may not be a legal duty to make a referral.

But if you decide to dismiss the person or remove them from working in regulated activity then you have a legal duty to make a referral.

More information about this specific topic can be found on making barring referrals to DBS guidance.
