Barred lists
Disclosure Scotland keeps a list of people unsuitable to carry out regulated roles with children and a list of people unsuitable for regulated roles with protected adults.
The lists are separate, although people can be on both lists. If Disclosure Scotland adds someone to one or both of these lists, it is known as being listed.
If you're listed
If you’re listed, you’re barred from working with the vulnerable groups covered by that list.
For example, if you’re listed as unsuitable to work with children then you’re not allowed to carry out a regulated role with children.
If you’re only listed as unsuitable to work with children you can still work with protected adults and vice versa.
It’s a criminal offence carry out a regulated role with the groups you’re listed for. It's also against the law for an organisation to employ a listed person in a regulated role they're barred from.
If you were already a PVG member before you were listed, Disclosure Scotland will end your membership for the group you're barred from.
If you’re listed then you’re not eligible for PVG scheme membership for that type of role.
