Danish Police Resume Child Protection Background Checks

Danish police have resumed issuing child protection checks. This clears hiring delays for local schools, nurseries, and sports clubs. The service was stopped for over two weeks.

A data error in the Central Crime Register caused the freeze. The glitch blocked safety checks across the country. Hundreds of job applicants faced hiring backlogs.

Danish National Police announced the restart on Friday after checking the system. Employers must get this check before staff work with children. The clearance will unblock delayed hirings in public services. This update was reported by The Copenhagen Post.
