- Information held under Section 142 of the Education Act 2002
Information held under Section 142 of the Education Act 2002 (previously, but still widely referred to as, List 99) is a database maintained in the United Kingdom by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES). It contains details (such as names and dates of births) of individuals who are banned from working with children in an educational setting.
As of 2006, the list is receiving considerable media attention since not all people on the British Sex Offenders Register are also listed on this list. It follows the case of a physical education teacher being cleared to work with children by DfES, even though he had accepted a police caution for accessing child pornography. However, a teacher needn't be convicted of sex offences to be put on List 99. For example, a teacher can be put on there if convicted of theft, fraud, drug offences, corruption, GBH, affray, murder or subversive activities. Medical reasons for placement on the list include alcoholism, drug addiction and mental illness (eg:Schizophrenia).
