The person can do that either by applying for a new certificate or by using the Disclosure and Barring Service Update Service.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 02/03/2017 16:56:19 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
