Changes are being made to the current system in preparation for implementing new legislation on 01 April 2025.
The Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020 will improve the disclosure system in Scotland by removing unnecessary barriers for people with convictions as they seek employment or other opportunities, and enhance the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme.
The Disclosure Act includes:
- The introduction of simplified disclosure products and people having more control over their information
- An individualised approach to the disclosure of childhood offending and rights of review for convictions disclosed, to enhance fairness and proportionality
- Replacing the concept of ‘regulated work’ with ‘regulated roles’, making it more easily understood
- Membership of the PVG scheme will be a legal requirement from 01 April 2025 for those carrying out a regulated role
- The ability for Disclosure Scotland to impose conditions on PVG scheme members who are under consideration for listing
The training session is for third sector organisations in Fife to:
- Have the opportunity to learn about the new legislation
- Learn how you can prepare to work with the new Disclosure Act
- Provide you with an opportunity to ask questions about the implementation of the Disclosure Act
- Learn how to work with the current disclosure legislation
This session will be delivered online by Wendy McBeth, Compliance and Training Officer, Volunteer Scotland Disclosure Services.
