We are uniquely placed to assist in disputes with the police and DBS regarding the issuing of cautions and harassment warnings, the retention and disclosure of policing information as well as DBS barring decisions and appeals.

Advising and representing individuals in disputes regarding criminal records and policing information is a key area of our expertise, drawing on our unrivalled civil liberties experience and our track record of successfully challenging decisions through courts and up to the Supreme Court.
