Explanatory note

Section 68 of the Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020 (“the Disclosure Act”) explains what is meant by the references in sections 17(1)(b) and 44(2) of the Disclosure Act to a person (“A”) considering an individual’s suitability to carry out, or to be offered or supplied for, a type of regulated role when the individual is a member of the PVG Scheme. Section 68 provides that these are references to A considering the individual’s suitability to carry out that type of regulated role for A, to be supplied by A to carry out that type of regulated role for another person, or for any other prescribed purpose.

These Regulations prescribe other purposes to which those references to A in sections 17(1)(b) and 44(2) are to apply.
