The Level 1 and Level 2 Disclosure Review Application (Scotland) Regulations 2025
The Level 1 and Level 2 Disclosure Review Application (Scotland) Regulations 2025 were introduced on 3rd February 2025. These regulations set out the process for applying for a review of a Level 1 or Level 2 disclosure certificate in Scotland.
Who can apply?
The following people can apply for a review of a Level 1 or Level 2 disclosure certificate:
- The person who is the subject of the disclosure certificate
- A registered body that has a relevant interest in the person who is the subject of the disclosure certificate
- A person who has a reasonable belief that the information contained in the disclosure certificate is inaccurate or incomplete
How to apply
To apply for a review, you must complete the appropriate application form and submit it to the Scottish Disclosure Service. The application form can be obtained from the Scottish Disclosure Service website or by calling the Disclosure Scotland helpline.
What happens after I apply?
Once you have submitted your application, the Scottish Disclosure Service will review it to ensure that it is complete and that the appropriate fee has been paid. If your application is accepted, the Scottish Disclosure Service will carry out a review of the information contained in the disclosure certificate.
The review will be conducted by an experienced Disclosure Scotland reviewer. The reviewer will consider all of the information that is available to them, including the information that was originally used to create the disclosure certificate and any new information that has been submitted by the applicant.
The outcome of the review
The reviewer will make a decision based on the evidence that is available to them. The reviewer may decide to:
- Confirm the information contained in the disclosure certificate
- Amend the information contained in the disclosure certificate
- Cancel the disclosure certificate
The reviewer will notify the applicant of their decision in writing.
If you are unhappy with the outcome of the review
If you are unhappy with the outcome of the review, you can appeal to the Scottish Information Commissioner. The Scottish Information Commissioner is an independent body that investigates complaints about the Scottish Disclosure Service.
