The Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) are in charge of revealing information about you when you apply for jobs or other positions.  Sometimes they reveal very old information or incomplete information with a view to ‘Minded to Bar’ individuals from certain regulated activity whether that is paid or voluntarily.  We can assist you in challenging the process and put forward relevant evidence, which can be a variety of information such as character references, medical information, evidence of rehabilitation etc. We collate this information with you and draft robust representations on your behalf in order to appeal the initial decision from the DBS.

If necessary, we can challenge their decision with the Upper Tribunal Court, which can result in a hearing if an appeal in writing isn’t sufficient.

Quaint setting in the historic streets of Winchester. There is a drop off point and sheltered frontage with public car parks nearby. Not far from rail station. The oe way street is workable. Professionally friendly reception and also good telephone and messaging reaction previously.

Shentons have provided my son with brilliant support throughout a court case. From very first contact, we have had an amazing and highly professional defence. Call backs have always happened when scheduled, the lawyers have been clear, realistic and honest about outcomes. In court support has been reassuring and we felt that the very best defence was prepared and delivered. The barrister appointed was also outstanding and did a wonderful job on both court appearances. My son, the defendent, has learning disabilities/ autism. This was taken into consideration ideation throughout and he was treated with kindness and empathy. We are so grateful for the care and support that we have received. I cannot recommend Shentons more highly.

I highly recommend Hannah Adams and the team at Shentons. They were all incredibly kind, patient and really listened to the details of our particular situation. We were seen quickly, which was very important for us due to EHCP Tribunal deadlines. The expertise and depth of information we recieved in meetings and reports was invaluable. It also allowed me to proceed with clarity and confidence, where I had previously felt lost in the vast amount of very subject specific paperwork which had been sent to us. We followed Hannah's advice when looking for other professionals to assess our child and gain the relevant reports. We also followed up on a possible area of need she identified, resulting in a new diagnosis and subsequent support from the NHS. I am incredibly happy to say my child is enjoying his second week at our chosen school, something the LA finally agreed to after nearly a year of fighting but 5+ months before our court date. Our child is now in a setting which will support him for the next 7.5 years.

I can't recommend this solicitor highly enough. From start to finish, they were extremely professional, always available to answer my questions, and provided me with much-needed peace of mind during a stressful time. Chloe, was fantastic — she was incredibly reassuring, took the time to understand exactly what I was going through, and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. I truly trusted her to handle everything, and she exceeded my expectations. If you need reliable and empathetic legal support, look no further!
