Disclosure Scotland’s: Fees and Fee Structure Levels Discussion

Event Description

Disclosure Scotland has recently completed a consultation with stakeholders on fee waivers/discounts.

As part of this work, they are keen to speak to SCIS members to understand the impact of various options for fee levels for 2025/26, including retaining fees at their current levels. 

You are invited to a presentation by Paul McCann, Customer Engagement Manager at Disclosure Scotland

• Disclosure Scotland’s fees and fee structure have not changed since 2011. This is the longest period fees for disclosure products in Scotland have been frozen. Whilst this consultation did set out some proposed fee levels for disclosure products under the Disclosure Act, taking account of affordability, actual cost of delivery and inflation, its focus was on gathering more evidence on Disclosure Scotland's approach to fees in certain circumstances to help us develop our policy approach to fees.
• Further to this, work is ongoing to ensure fees are set at a level for 2025/26 which balances affordability for customers against the cost of delivering disclosures. Please note that a new fee structure (such as linking payment to the time-limited scheme membership) would not be implemented until 2026.
