Disclosure Scotland checks and shares information about people's criminal records. This helps organisations to employ the right people for certain types of work, like working with children or protected adults. The requirement for disclosure checks is unlikely to apply to all individuals involved in the decision making process for the health and wellbeing census. Further information about the circumstances which require disclosure checks is available from Types of disclosure

In terms of accessing individuals’ information, for the purposes of safeguarding, only a small number of individual staff within each local authority will have access to the responses provided by children and young people in the Census, and be able to actually identify an individual based on their Scottish Candidate Number by accessing a separate management information system which holds this information. No other persons (e.g. Scottish Government analysts) who will have access to the individual responses provided by children and young people would be able to do this, as they do not have access to any systems that store the names of individual pupils. Analysts are also required to comply with rules and regulations that are set out for when processing individual level data for statistics and research purposes.
It would be expected that anyone carrying out 'regulated work' including teaching or supervising children and/or protected adults or working directly with children and/or protected adults would have membership of the PVG Scheme.
