Informing recruitment decisions through the timely provision of accurate criminal history information and protecting vulnerable groups by preventing unsuitable people from working with them - Disclosure Scotland
What is a disclosure?
A Disclosure is a document containing impartial and confidential criminal history information held by the police and government departments which can be used by employers to make safer recruitment decisions.
Disclosure information could include:
Details of criminal records
Information about a persons inclusion on children's or adults' lists
Other relevant information held by a local police force or Government Body
Or state that there is no information
The information included on the document will depend on the type of disclosure applied for.
See our Glossary for definitions of terms used
Types of disclosure
Basic Disclosure contains only convictions considered unspent under The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
Standard Disclosure contains all conviction information, spent and unspent, including cautions.
Enhanced Disclosure contains all conviction information, spent and unspent, and any other non conviction information considered to be relevant by the police or other Government bodies.
Please Note: Disclosure Scotland will continue to process applications for the small number of enhanced disclosures that remain under the Police Act for purposes other than Regulated Work with Children or Protected Adults. Regulated work is the term used by the PVG Act to define the types of work which barred individuals must not do, and for which PVG Scheme membership is available.
