Disclosure  Scotland is a  service  designed  to enhance public  safety by  providing  potential  employers  and organisations  within  the voluntary  sector with criminal  history information  on individuals  applying  for posts.  Disclosure Scotland issues certificates - known as "Disclosures" - which give details of an individual's criminal convictions (and in the case of Enhanced Disclosures, where appropriate, non-conviction information) or state that they have none.
 
The Disclosure service was launched on 29 April 2002 and was developed under the guidance of the Scottish Government, following the enactment of Part V of the Police Act 1997.   This introduced a system of disclosing criminal history information to individuals and organisations for employment and other purposes. 


Capita RVS is able to carry out this Disclosure Scotland checking service for your business or organisation in a timely and cost effective manner.   Since its launch it is becoming more widespread in its use, with some establishments asking employees to undergo voluntary Disclosure Scotland checks, such as universities.
