The government has launched a call for evidence for its COVID Status Certification review, in essence, vaccination passports.

The government is weighing up whether certification could and should play a role in reopening the economy, reducing restrictions on social contact and improving safety.

Certification would be available to both vaccinated people and to unvaccinated people who have been tested.

The government is looking to consider the ethical, equalities, privacy, legal and operational aspects of a potential certification scheme, and what limits, if any, should be placed on organisations using certification. Disability Rights UK is preparing a response to this call for evidence. We would ask DPOs to contact us with their evidence, concerns and views no later than noon on Tuesday 23 March.
