Disclosure levels
The Act will reduce the number of disclosures from four main levels (Basic, Standard, Enhanced and PVG) to two (Level 1 and Level 2).
Level 1
- this product will replace the current Basic disclosure under the Police Act 1997
- available to any individual aged 16 and over, for any purpose on payment of the prescribed fee
- this product will include notification requirements under Part 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003
Level 2
(for example, for accountants)
- this disclosure product will replace all Standard disclosures and some Enhanced disclosures under the Police Act 1997
- available to an individual aged 16 and over for a prescribed purpose, where that purpose is connected to an accredited body, and on payment of the prescribed fee
Level 2 with suitability
(for example, for prospective adoptive parents)
- this disclosure product will replace certain Enhanced disclosures under the Police Act 1997
- available to an individual aged 16 and over for a prescribed purpose, where that purpose is connected to an accredited body, and on payment of the prescribed fee
Level 2 PVG
(for example, for school teachers)
- this type of disclosure will replace the PVG Scheme Record and Short Scheme Record
- there will still be a product equivalent to the statement of scheme membership (known as a confirmation of scheme membership), which does not include conviction information
- available to an individual aged 16 and over and mandatory for those aged 16 and over carrying out regulated roles with children and adults
