Price Increase for Disclosures from August 09
July 09
Important Information - Price Increase
6th July 2009
Pleae be advised that Scottish Ministers have laid a Scottish Statutory Instrument (SSI) that means that the fee for a Disclosure application will increase from £20 to £23 on 1 August 2009 when the SSI comes into force. The SSI can be viewed here.
As a result all Disclosure Scotland applications received on or after 1 August 2009 will be charged at £23.
Applications received prior to 1 August 2009 that are incorrectly completed, or require further information and that are returned to you and resubmitted arriving on or after 1 August 2009 will be charged at £23. Any applications received with a cheque or postal order with the incorrect amount will be returned. Invoices will reflect the new costs on your August Statements for applications received as per the arrangements mentioned above.
Online Basic applications made from 1 August 2009 will be charged at £23.
Those organisations who use the B2B method will from the 1 August 2009 be charged at £23.
This is only the second increase since the Disclosure Scotland service was introduced in April 2002. It will contribute to increases in Disclosure Scotland’s running costs. Disclosure applications for volunteers working in the voluntary sector with children or adults at risk will still be provided at no costs to the individual or the voluntary organisation concerned.
