We help organisations make safer decisions when they’re recruiting people. 



We also make sure unsuitable people do not work with vulnerable groups, including children.

Changes to our services

Our services changed on 1 April 2025. This was to implement a new law, the Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020.

It includes changes to disclosure services and PVG scheme membership.

We're working with stakeholders to help them with the changes.

Learn more about the changes.
