Required & Regulatory
PVG Duty to refer advice
If an organisation or employer has employees or volunteers doing 'regulated work', they have a duty to report to Disclosure Scotland any harmful behaviour that might affect whether the person is allowed to work with children or protected adults. This is called making a referral.
Failure to make this referral to Disclosure Scotland (within the defined period) is an offence.
See this Disclosure Scotland Information Leaflet for further details.
