How to make a referral

The employer has to complete an employer referral form and send it to Disclosure Scotland.

The form asks for:

• proof of the person's identity (name, address, date of birth, national insurance number)
• details of the type of regulated work they're employed to do
• the person's PVG scheme number, if they have one
• information on the harmful behaviour
• details and documentation of the employer's investigation and outcome

You should not identify any children or protected adults by name. Use a coded reference instead, like "child A - age 12, male, victim".

When the details have been filled in, email the referral form to pucorrespondence@assured.systems.gov.scot or print it out and post it to the address on the form.
