Chapter 9: Registration for Organisations
Organisations requiring access to Scheme Records and Scheme Record Updates must either:
- register with Disclosure Scotland, which will enable them to countersign disclosure applications or requests; or
- enrol with a registered body that can provide countersignatory services for them (known as an umbrella body, such as CRBS).
Organisations that are already registered with Disclosure Scotland do not need to re-register for PVG Scheme purposes. New registration arrangements are planned to take effect from 1 April 2011, although the revised regulations have not yet been considered by the Scottish Parliament. On-line functionality allowing registered bodies to manage their registration accounts with Disclosure Scotland will become available later in 2011.
