The suspension of disclosure fees for key workers and volunteers is being extended.

 

It remains a temporary measure and is solely for those who are being drafted in to help Scotland fight against coronavirus. The suspension, which will now be in place until June 12, will be reviewed again and extended further, if needed.

 

As we continue to only process applications for workers deemed critical at this moment in time, the list of prioritised roles is now:

Following Scottish Government guidance, roles supporting the sectors mentioned above are also considered a priority. For example, cleaners and catering staff in schools and hospitals as well as those providing transport etc.

 

With the situation developing and evolving, the list of prioritised sectors will continue to be reviewed and may change as Disclosure Scotland identifies others with roles critical to supporting the Scottish Government at this time.

 

We have also revised our application forms to make applying easier.

Please ensure you download the latest version: www.mygov.scot/coronavirus-disclosure/

 

If submitting more than 50 applications simultaneously, please give us advance notice by emailing[email protected] – please also continue to send all completed applications as well as any queries to this address.

 

Thank you for your continued patience during this critical time,

 

Gerard Hart

Chief Executive
