ALT We are currently experiencing a higher volume of helpline calls and emails than usual. As a result, our response times for customer enquiries may be longer than expected. We continue to process all types of disclosure within our normal 14 day service level agreement.
You can also find information on Disclosure Scotland and our services on our disclosure.gov.scot corporate website. You can apply for disclosures through our mygov.scot website.
To help us process your request as timeously as possible, please only contact us once per query.
Please be assured that all queries are being handled in the order they are received.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. We are working hard to resolve these issues.
Thank you,
Iain Steele, Head of Disclosure and Compliance
