Code of Practice
The Code of Practice (the Code) is an important document that sets out the obligations which must be met by Registered Bodies in relation to Standard and Enhanced Disclosure information. The Explanatory Guide supplements and explains the information contained in the Code of Practice
The Code is intended to ensure that information released in Standard and Enhanced Disclosures is used fairly; and, to provide assurance that this is the case.
The Code also seeks to ensure that sensitive personal information is handled and stored appropriately and kept for only as long as is necessary. Guidance to employers on other matters is explained throughout this guide.
Employers should also be aware that they will have responsibilities under the Data Protection Act in respect of Disclosure Certificates.
Hard copies of the code can be provided on request.
