Employers must refer a registered worker to us when they are:
- suspended, dismissed or demoted
- resign during a disciplinary investigation, and you would have considered dismissal
- charged or convicted of a criminal offence.
You should also refer to us if the matter is one you would tell Disclosure Scotland about or where you are concerned that the behaviour or actions of a worker raises a serious concern about their fitness to practise. For more information about the types of behaviours or actions this includes, please see our Employer Referral Guidance.
