Types of disclosure
Basic Disclosure contains only convictions considered unspent under The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
Standard Disclosure contains all conviction information, spent and unspent, including cautions.
Enhanced Disclosure contains all conviction information, spent and unspent, and any other non conviction information considered to be relevant by the police or other Government bodies.
Please Note: Disclosure Scotland will continue to process applications for the small number of enhanced disclosures that remain under the Police Act for purposes other than Regulated Work with Children or Protected Adults. Regulated work is the term used by the PVG Act to define the types of work which barred individuals must not do, and for which PVG Scheme membership is available.
