Some posts require a Standard or Basic Disclosure check, while most posts will require completing a Criminal Convictions Form. All checks are obtained via Disclosure Scotland. If successful, you will need to pay the cost of the disclosure check for your post.
Regulatory Bodies
If your post requires registration with a regulatory body such as HCPC or SSSC, you are required to obtain and maintain registration, including paying any fees for HCPC. As part of the local government pay deal, local authority staff are no longer required to pay SSSC fees.
