Do you recognise the potential for non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) to be reported mistakenly, frivolously, or maliciously? Since reports of NCHIs can appear on Enhanced DBS checks as required for many jobs, false accusations can have serious consequences for someone’s life and career. What safeguards are in place to avoid this, both at the stage of recording the incident and of that incident later being disclosed to a potential employer such as via DBS?
