Crynodeb
Disclosure Scotland is an Executive Agency of the Scottish Government, operating on behalf of Scottish Ministers, to perform an important safeguarding role for the people of Scotland. The work of Disclosure Scotland directly supports the Scottish Government’s National Outcomes for Children and Young People, Economy, Fair Work and Business, Communities and Human Rights.
To contribute to these, Disclosure Scotland is responsible for two primary services, managing and delivering the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme and processing applications for disclosure certificates which enable safer recruitment decisions to be made by employers.
We are at an exciting point in our journey, in terms of the services we provide and the way we provide them. Our strategy is to give the best possible service to employers and our customers, and to contribute to the wider purpose of the Scottish Government and help our Ministers deliver their plan for Scotland. We want to play an ever-better part in the network of agencies and organisations that aim to make Scotland safer, while also helping employers use our service in a more informed and evidence-led way.
