For many years criminal record information has, legitimately or otherwise, been shared with employers and organisations.
Criminal record information can be obtained legally from Disclosure Scotland, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) or from the individual to whom the criminal record information relates.
If you require specific advice and guidance on how to disclose a criminal record to an employer, read our dedicated webpage on Disclosing criminal records to employers. Alternatively you can contact our Criminal Record Support Service.
