Mandate that all Council and Parliamentary Candidates have an Enhanced DBS check

Petition Details

At the moment it is not mandatory for prospective council candidates or Parliamentary candidates to have an Enhanced DBS check.

Additional Information

We believe that as prospective Council candidates and Parliamentary candidates are public servants, a mandatory Enhanced DBS check should be carried out and made public so that the people can see the potential candidates' backgrounds.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
