Under consideration for listing

If the initial assessment indicates that Disclosure Scotland may need to list the person, they will carry out a full ‘consideration for listing' assessment. This is to decide if the person should be listed as unsuitable to do regulated work with children, protected adults or both.

The person can continue to work with vulnerable groups while Disclosure Scotland is checking their information, but if they are a PVG Scheme member their PVG Scheme Record will say that they are under consideration for listing.

Disclosure Scotland will also tell the person's employer and (if applicable) regulatory body that it is considering listing the person.
