Management of Offenders (Scotland) Bill - Case for reform
The consequences of having to self-disclose previous offending behaviour for long periods of time and for such information to be included on a basic disclosure certificate can have an on-going impact on people's ability to gain employment, attend university or college, volunteer, secure an apprenticeship or get insurance or a bank account, etc.
The provisions of this Bill will reform the 1974 Act so that it achieves an appropriate balance between the rights of people not to disclose their previous offending behaviour and to move on with their lives and ensuring the rights of the public to be protected are effectively maintained.

Meeting of the Parliament 10 January 2017
We have heard no detail and there has been no debate about how a bill of rights would operate. Has it not struck anyone who is arguing for a bill of rights that whether we have a bill of rights or a convention, we have to create a body of law that is underpinned by the basic universal principles of human rights?
