Question
To ask the Scottish Executive what communication there has been with voluntary organisations that previously accessed enhanced or standard disclosure checks for staff and volunteers working with vulnerable adults and will now be unable to do so following the changes made to the interpretation of the eligibility criteria for access to such checks.
