Background
The Scottish Biometrics Commissioner undertook two joint assurance reviews on (i) the acquisition of biometric data from children arrested in Scotland and (ii) the acquisition of biometric data from vulnerable persons in police custody requiring the support of an Appropriate Adult.
The Scottish Biometrics Commissioner was supported in both of these reviews by the Scottish Police Authority (SPA) and, in the one relating to those aged 12-17 years, by The Children and Young People’s Centre for Justice (CYCJ).
The joint assurance reviews were laid before the Scottish Parliament on the 29th of March 2023. The joint assurance reviews are contained within Appendices A and B and are also available on Scottish Biometrics Commissioner’s website.
