SPTC has withdrawn its advice on Disclosure checks.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

SPTC has withdrawn its advice on Disclosure checks because we are no longer convinced it is sound.

The original advice was drawn up in consultation with the Scottish Executive and CRBS but a subsequent review of the legislation has highlighted to us that where someone’s “normal duties” involve “work of any kind, whether paid or unpaid” being carried out in an “educational establishment” defined as both a school and the premises of that school this is deemed “a child care position” and requires a disclosure check, regardless of whether any children are actually present.

We are NOT giving up though and continue our campaign to get some sense into the situation surrounding child protection and disclosure checks.

IF YOU WANT TO HELP US IN OUR CAMPAIGN THEN WHY NOT EMAIL YOUR MSP? ALTERNATIVELY, EMAIL FIONA HYSLOP, CABINET SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND LIFELONG LEARNING ON: fiona.hyslop.msp@scottish.parliament.uk
