Changes to our services

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

The Act changed the disclosure system in Scotland, including:

  • fewer disclosure levels
  • changes to Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) membership
  • new referral powers for councils and integration boards
