The Disclosure Service
The newly formed Disclosure Service provides a regulated 'one stop' service for England and Wales offering access to records held by the police, together with those held by the Department of Health (DH) and the Department for Education and Skills (DfES).The Disclosure Service enables organisations to make more thorough recruitment checks, particularly for positions that involve regular contact with children and vulnerable adults. A Disclosure is an impartial and confidential document that details an individual’s criminal record, and where appropriate, details of those who are banned from working with children. Disclosures are obtained by following a simple application procedure detailed on the Disclosure website (see below for a link). First Light is in the process of registering as an umbrella organisation and will eventually be able to offer this service to it's funded organisations for a small administration fee.
