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 plus PH drivers with fake DBS criminal record checks, last January, just over 7 months ago, 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, we were told after the news broke in the national press that the drivers with suspect DBS results would be given another 28 days grace to resubmit genuine DBS results. 

But why have these drivers not had their TfL licence suspended already?

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

They won't even issue temporary relicenses to driver caught up in delays. Many Taxi drivers have been thrown out of work because of TfL incompetence. 

And yet 13,000 PH drivers have been driving around, putting the public at risk for the past 7 months....and if this hadn't been publicised in the national press, this 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 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 issued a license without being sure the driver was fit and proper".

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

Yet she knew as long ago as January this year that some PH drivers were using a company that was producing fake DBS results. 

She even issued a statement telling the trade on the 23rd of January that TfL had stopped accepting certificates processed by third parties. But then did nothing about it.

By doing nothing about drivers using a suspect company, TfLTPH have become complicit in 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 any 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 to discuss this issue, 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.
