If your organisation has volunteers or staff in a regulated role, there is an important legal responsibility you must take seriously. You must report harmful behaviour to Disclosure Scotland — this is known as ‘Duty to Refer'.
Understanding when and how to act is essential, not just for compliance, but for safeguarding others. Volunteer Scotland Disclosure Services' latest learning resource, the 'Duty to Refer Process Learning Byte' provides info on:
- The background behind Duty to Refer
- What your responsibilities are
- The actions you need to take
- Practical tips to help you manage this duty confidently
Please take a few minutes to stay informed and ensure you’re meeting your legal obligations.
