The Police Barred List and Police Advisory List Regulations 2017

Publication of information in barred list

10.—(1) Section 88G applies to any person who is included in the barred list by virtue of being reported under section 88A(1)(a) or (b) and—

(a) where the report was made under section 88A(1)(a), the person was dismissed at proceedings under the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2012(1) (police officer dismissed on grounds of conduct); or

(b) where the report was made under section 88A(1)(b), the relevant finding was made at proceedings under those Regulations (former police officer: finding of grounds for dismissal for conduct).

(2) Subject to paragraph (4), the information included in the barred list which the College must publish in relation to a person (“P”) to whom section 88G applies is the information in relation to P mentioned in regulation 3(2)(a), (b), (d), (e)(i), (f)(i), (i) and (j) (“the specified information”).

(3) The specified information must be published no later than the last working day of the month following the month in which P was included in the barred list.

(4) But the College must not publish any of the specified information in relation to P if to publish some or all of that information—

(a) would be against the interests of national security;

(b) might prejudice the investigation or prosecution of a criminal offence or any civil proceedings; or

(c) would result in a significant risk of harm to any person (including P).

(5) In considering whether paragraph (4) applies, the College must have regard (among other things) to—

(a) any information in the report on P under section 88A which was included by virtue of regulation 3(2)(l);

(b) the extent to which (and manner in which) any of the specified information in relation to P has already been made available to the public.

(6) If, after the College has decided not to publish specified information under paragraph (4), it becomes aware that the circumstances in paragraph (4) which led to that decision no longer apply, the College must publish the information in question.
