It Gets Much Worse...TfLTPH Knew About The Fake DBS Certificates As Long Ago As January, But Did Nothing.

How do these people sleep at night?

knowing that their decision not to suspend the licenses of 13,000+ PH drivers with fake DBS criminal record certificates last January, (and going on statistics supplied by the Met Police) could have resulted in as many as 30 young lives being shattered at the hands of rapists. 

We knew there had been fake DBS results, but it was only after the news broke in the national press, we were told drivers with suspect DBS results would be given another 28 days grace to resubmit genuine DBS results. 

Why have these drivers not had their TfL licence suspended already?

TfL would never had stood for Licensed Taxi drivers using a third party company which changed results at will. 

TfL are reluctant to issue temporary relicenses to driver caught up in delays. Many Taxi drivers have been thrown out of work for months because of TfL incompetence. 

And yet 13,000 PH drivers have been driving around with fake DBS certificates, putting the public at risk for the past 7 months.

If this hadn't been publicised in the national press, they would have gone un-dealt with for 3 years until all suspect licenses were renewed. 

When asked by ex UCG chairman Len Martin, if a driver member stuck at stage 4 of the renewal process could be issued a temporary licence, Helen Chapman said: 

"I couldn't live with myself if anyone had came to harm because I'd issued a license without being sure the driver was fit and proper".

Helen, how can you live with yourself now?

How do you sleep at night, knowing that as many as 30 young lives have been shattered because you are part of a team who decided not to suspend drivers with dodgy DBS results?

Helen Chapman, you stated many times that all PH drivers are subjected to the same enhanced background checks as Taxi drivers. 

Yet you knew, as long ago as January this year, that some PH drivers were using a companies producing fake DBS results. 

You even issued a statement telling the trade on the 23rd of January that TfL had stopped accepting certificates processed by third parties. 

But then you did nothing about it.

By doing nothing about drivers using a suspect company, TfLTPH are complicit of allowing the public to be put in grave danger from sexual predators. 

Brown, Daniels, Blake and Chapman,

are not fit to carry out the responsibility of protecting the public as regulators or arbiters and should be replaced as soon as possible. 

Let's hope that the victims of rape, that occurred as a direct result of a fake DBS check, take these people to court, for knowingly putting them at risk.

We've been informed by the LCDC that Mke Brown will be meeting Taxi Trade orgs on Wednesday. Chairman of the LCDC Grant Davis has asked for the revelations given to the Times to be discussed, but to be honest, this should be on th agenda for the first thing this morning, as any delay could see more rapist victims with shattered lives.

So Onfido were doing the DBS checks for uber here's what one employee said:
