Did you know? If your organisation has volunteers or staff in regulated roles, you have an important legal responsibility to uphold.

You must report harmful behaviour to Disclosure Scotland — this is known as the ‘Duty to Refer’.
Understanding when and how to act is essential — not just for compliance, but for safeguarding others.

Our latest learning resource, the Duty to Refer Process Learning Byte, covers:
➡️ The background behind Duty to Refer
➡️ Your responsibilities
➡️ The actions you need to take
➡️ Practical tips to help you manage this duty confidently

Take a few minutes to stay informed and ensure you're meeting your legal obligations.
